Bug Description

Hello,

It is Ubuntu 18.04.1 on Windows Subsystem for linux.
      a@W0:~$ cat /etc/lsb-release
      DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
      DISTRIB_RELEASE=18.04
      DISTRIB_CODENAME=bionic
      DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS"

It is not possible to run the command "startx".
the first time, I found a problem with DBUS, solved this way:
   sudo mkdir /var/run/dbus
   sudo dbus-daemon --config-file=/usr/share/dbus-1/system.conf

Now, I have the error indicated above.
I do not know if it's because of my correction or for some other Reason.
Serious errors are as follows:
   a@W0:~$ cat /var/log/Xorg.1.log | grep EE
        (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
   [ 12722.394] (EE) systemd-logind: failed to get session: PID 1320 does not belong to any known session
   [ 12722.401] (EE)
   [ 12722.402] (EE) xf86OpenConsole: Switching VT failed
   [ 12722.403] (EE)
   [ 12722.403] (EE)
   [ 12722.404] (EE) Please also check the log file at "/var/log/Xorg.1.log" for additional information.
   [ 12722.405] (EE)
   [ 12722.407] (EE) Server terminated with error (1). Closing log file.

Thank you for your advice

It's not easy to do an APPORT execution under WSL because firefox is very slow to respond and the display server mixes a bit.
