Title: xinit flooding syslog Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: I am using xinit (1.3.4-3ubuntu1) to start an X11 session as follows (kodi is a media center): /usr/bin/xinit /usr/bin/dbus-launch --exit-with-session /usr/bin/kodi- standalone -- :1 -nolisten tcp vt8 This used to work fine with Ubuntu 16.04, but since the upgrade to 16.10 lots of log messages are sent to syslog. They are all repetitions of the following two lines: Oct 24 22:54:50 tiger xinit[26430]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_bytes() called, but @ffi.def_extern() was not called in the current subinterpreter. Returning 0. Oct 24 22:54:50 tiger xinit[26430]: extern "Python": function Cryptography_rand_status() called, but @ffi.def_extern() was not called in the current subinterpreter. Returning 0. These messages amount to >200 GB per day, so this is eating up all the disk space.
