If you are able to log in remotely, and, would be able to do it, I
recommend upgrading from 20.04 to 20.10.

I found 20.04 to be buggy, and, 20.10 to be the bug fix for 20.04
(apart from the thunderbird being broken).

20.04 seemed to be a beta version, even in 20.04.1.

20.10 is what 20.04.1 should have been (apart from the thunderbird issue).
