With Lx 3, we hane systemd in userspace so running journalctl as a non root
user  will show logs for current logged in session.

/var/lib/{messages,syslog} got obsoleted when journalctl got implemented in
systemd 4-5 years ago :)

These XCB errors says that something in backed in failing, for example gfx
driver.
