Christopher, I have since upgraded that Dell Precision to 17.04 and while I still often get the error popup on that computer I cannot confirm that it is actually Xorg that crashed, because now that I looked, the crash popup on 17.04 today was about some unrelated software (unity-settings-something) so I can't really be sure if I have ever seen Xorg crash on 17.04. It used to be Xorg when the Dell computer had 16.10, though.
The UX32VD that still runs 16.10 continues to show the Xorg crash from time to time (but not nearly at every boot). Also I checked with my co-workers and those (2) who run 16.10 all regularly see an error popup but none can verify that it's still actually about Xorg (it happens frequently enough that no-one bothers to look anymore). A co-worker who's still on 16.04 says he hasn't seen the error. So in summary I can only definitely say that 16.10 shows that Xorg crash and that it has happened on more or less every computer I or my co- workers have used with 16.10. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1694331 Title: "internal error" popup on login Status in xorg package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Sometimes (not very often), Ubuntu shows an error popup immediately after login (after power-on) that says Xorg has crashed. No other ill effects have been noticed, everything works normally after that. The automatic error reporting does not go through because of "UnreportableReason: Invalid core dump: BFD: Warning /tmp/apport_core_5n7s8i3d is truncated: expected core file size >= 40902656, found: 21037056." I was asked by Christopher M. Penalver in Bug 1426596 to submit a new bug using "ubuntu-bug xorg" when the error appeared. This is that report, although the computer I used now to generate the report is not the same as I mentioned in the original bug (I've seen the same issue on more or less all computers I've used and IIRC from at least 16.04 to 17.04).
