I was updating from Ubuntu 18.04 to 20.04, when the update GUI showed a certain package from python3 could not be installed and the update failed. The message then showed restart required. After restarting it is just showing blank screen and blinking underscore. I went into ubuntu recovery mode and run fsck and dpkg and then resumed, but the problem is still not solved

You may have to use a live system to set a new password then repeat the steps you just tried ... do you know how to do that? – George Udosen Oct 19 '20 at 08:27
