Bug Description

I followed the instructions at OMBUbuntu!
http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2016/04/how-to-upgrade-ubuntu-15-10-to-16-04-lts

However, the installation procedure for Ubuntu 16.04 failed after that which led me to removing all of my 3rd party sources. In doing so, I looked up the "markGarbage" error and removed any sources related to xserver. Unknowingly, it turned out to be something important so I went into Recovery mode later on and had to install xserver through there which thankfully I was able to get into my Desktop again. Now, I'm here with the same error not knowing what it is, and even questioning myself if that's even the root cause of it? Thanks for the help Ubuntu!
