Missing "/etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy" in Ubuntu 6.06 LTS

[Henrique Camargo]

I'm running:
X Window System Version 7.0.0
Release Date: 21 December 2005
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 7.0

This is a small bug.

Running a Fresh Install of Ubuntu 6.06 LTS and looking at /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(II) Initializing built-in extension XEVIE
error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
(**) Option "CoreKeyboard"

The file "SecurityPolicy" should be in the directory "/etc/X11/xserver/" but the directory does not exist. Copying the file from "/usr/share/doc/examples/SecurityPolicy" solves the problem.

A thread about the bug can be found in: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=186035

xorg-server (1:1.0.2-0ubuntu4) dapper; urgency=low

  * Fix SecurityPolicy path to /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy
    and ship an example. NOTE: this file is NOT installed by default,
    the WARNING you see in Xorg.0.log is an harmless WARNING.
    Add patch: 990_ubuntu_fix_security_policy_path.patch.
    (Close Ubuntu: #31608)

I have the same problem, there is no directory called xserver. The file for the fix, though was found
aevaughn@aevaughn-laptop:/etc/X11$ ls
app-defaults cursors default-display-manager fr rgb.txt X xkb X
config de fonts ja ro xinit xorg.conf X
