Cannot login after fresh install 20.04

[Glenn Hamblin]

I installed Ubuntu 20.04 from a USB flash drive to my Asus slate EP121 tablet. The install went smoothly and I entered my username and password.After rebooting I entered my password and after a few seconds it failed. I retied multiple times but it failed every time. I decided to re-install it and it failed hard. I clicked send report, and here I am.
