Ubuntu Error Opening Security Policy File /etc/x11/xserver/securitypolicy
how do I fix it? up vote 0 down vote favorite I don't consider myself to be an idiot, but clearly I am. So please help the idiot. I have a brand new clean install of Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS running on vmware. I wishto access it from a Windows 7 computer. Sounds easy enough So I went to a Terminal and ran vncserver which required me to set a password and then appeared to be running.
Could Not Init Font Path Element /usr/x11r6/lib/x11/fonts/type1/
I then installed UltraVNC on my Windows 7 computer (Viewer only) and then tried to connect. After entering the password (which confirms to me I am reaching the computer) all I get is a blank screen. After much Googling this seems to be the normal response. I have studied many google articles most of which involve magical incantations of one form or another, but nothing I can do will make it work. The vncserver log file complains "error opening security policy file /etc/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy" followed by a bunch of messsages "Could not init font path element...." After that it shows what appears to be valid connections or disconnections, but I can never get any thing to display on the screen. Surely this should just work right out of the box. I decided to add to this post from the Ubuntu computer so I can add so I can add the log and xstartup file using cut and paste.

dependency problems Date: Sun, 14 Aug 2005 13:48:01 -0400 Hi. I'm running RHES 4.1 and I've installed the vnc-server (vnc-server-4.0-8.1) via up2date but seem to be getting dependency problems. The problem in a nutshell: On running vncserver, I get: error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy and then three "command not found" errors I would like to know: --which package creates the "xserver" directory in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/? --which package provides "xsetroot"? --why Red Hat is distributing the vnc-server with these dependency problems and what we can do to correct them? The details: Upon running vncserver for the first time, I get the following in its (newly created) log file: Xvnc version 4.0 - built Nov 24 2004 16:08:56 Underlying X server release 60801000, The X.Org Foundation Sat Aug 13 02:33:58 2005 vncext: VNC extension running! vncext: Listening for VNC connections on port 5901 vncext: Listening for HTTP connections on port 5801 vncext: created VNC server for screen 0 error opening security policy file /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xserver/SecurityPolicy Could not init font path element /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/fonts/misc/, removing from list!
