Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:

1. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
    ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.

2. If step 1 failed then look at https://errors.ubuntu.com/user/ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/whoopsie/whoopsie-id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.

3. If step 2 also failed then apply the workaround from bug 994921, reboot, reproduce the crash, and retry step 1.

Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.

Thank you for getting back to me so soon!

Here is the link: https://errors.ubuntu.com/oops/34347d6a-68d3-11ea-9850-fa163e102db1
By running ubuntu-bug _usr_lib_xorg_Xorg.0.crash I got a dialogue with a checkbox to remember to report this error automatically. Once I checked the box the error does not pop up with every boot anymore. I also had to manually install whoopsie-preferences for this. Should this package not be installed by default on all systems?
