Xorg assert failure: Xorg: /usr/include/xorg/privates.h:122: dixGetPrivateAddr: Assertion `key->initialized' failed.
This actually seems to happen most frequently in VirtualBox.
WORKAROUND:
Select "Ubuntu on Wayland" from the login screen before logging in.
---
It happened after upgrade to bionic, in the first login, after logon screen.
Instead of opening the desktop area, gave the error. I had to do hard reset to be able to use X.
After hard reset showed the same error but after a while it entered desktop.
