Title: Desktop fails to boot in vbox: Xorg assert failure: Xorg: ../../../../dix/privates.c:384: dixRegisterPrivateKey: Assertion `!global_keys[type].created' failed. Status in X.Org X server: New Status in xorg-server package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xorg-server source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in xorg-server source package in Bionic: Fix Released Status in xorg-server source package in Cosmic: Fix Released Bug description: https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/4ffab1fb339140b2c39fa0d096293706399e7280 https://errors.ubuntu.com/problem/d18c1a21ca8ed1bb6cca06ddb5350187bed44f80 --- Test Case: Boot Ubuntu Cosmic Desktop 20180916 on Virtual Box Actual Result Black screen or dropped to the login screen if the user skips ubiquity-dm Workaround: Add nomodeset on the kernel command line or from the boot menu, press F6 then select nomodeset Possibly a duplicate of bug 1432137 Fix: Backport a patch from 1.20.2 Regression potential: None really, we've had this xserver version since 18.10 and in the HWE backport, this patch backport is for 18.04 stock xserver but should work the same. It just skips initializing glamor if the system is using software fallback.
