Public bug reported:
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.
