Public bug reported:
When attempting to run xinit or startx after upgrading from 14.04 to
16.04 it will not work. There seems to be some sort of permission
issue. I have seen another person with this issue as well here:
http://askubuntu.com/questions/749370/ubuntu-16-04-xf86openconsole-
cannot-open-virtual-console-2?newreg=ba376d7a182d44608ed4675346b1ed74
An example is when attempting to launch kodi, which worked prior to the
upgrade:
xinit /usr/bin/kodi --standalone -- -nocursor :0

I have tried numerous workarounds including reinstalling xorg, removing all x-related files in my profile, and creating a new user. Unfortunately none of these worked.
