Ubuntu 20.04 GUI on HP DL380 G7 crash on login

I have freshly installed Ubuntu 20.04 server on an HP DL380 G7. After installing the GUI (ubuntu-desktop) and reboot, I get a very sluggish login screen which crashes (presents with a white screen stating "Oh no! Something has gone wrong"). I am trying to login with the sudo user created during the installation.

Server is a Xeon E5649 2.5ghz (I think that is the speed), 60gb ram, 2.8TB disk. Disk arrangement is a single 2.3TB raid array mounted on root.
