I am using Xubuntu 16.04.3 LTS, my current Linux kernel is 4.4.0-116-generic x86_64.

I also get a similar error message:

Xorg.assert.failure:Xorg: ../../dix/privates.c:385: dixRegisterPrivateKey: Assertion ‘lglobal_keys[type].created‘ fails

(above it is c:384) The bug is told to be a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1659842:

But the error reporting software tells me that the bug is a duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1629678 which also does not exist, but here it is a different one than told above.

BTW: Is there a way to catch the error report sent in. It is very tedious to retype what I can see when I inspect on what the error reporting software sends in.

According to

apt list --installed

I have no package xorg-server. I only have

xorg/xenial-updates,now 1:7.7+13ubuntu3.1 amd64 [installiert]
xorg-docs-core/xenial,xenial,now 1:1.7.1-1ubuntu1 all [installiert]
xorg-sgml-doctools/xenial,xenial,now 1:1.11-1 all [Installiert,automatisch]

Is there anything which I should install to get rid of the error.
