Title:
The "suspicious" errors don't give sufficient information
Status in “xorg” package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Status in “xorg” package in Debian:
New
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
Package xorg, version 1:7.5+5ubuntu1 on 10.04 is leaving error messages
in log files, e.g.
X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode (not 1777) or is not a
directory, aborting.
They're from debian/local/xserver-wrapper.c.
if ((statbuf.st_uid != 0) || (statbuf.st_gid != 0)) {
(void) fprintf(stderr, "X: %s has suspicious ownership (not root:root),
"
"aborting.\n", X_SOCKET_DIR);
exit(1);
}
if (statbuf.st_mode != (S_IFDIR | X_SOCKET_DIR_MODE)) {
(void) fprintf(stderr, "X: %s has suspicious mode (not %o) or is not a "
"directory, aborting.\n", X_SOCKET_DIR,
X_SOCKET_DIR_MODE);
exit(1);
}
In both cases it would help a lot, given the number of times these
errors appear on Google, if the message included what the unexpected
value(s) were, e.g.
X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious mode, 01755 is not 01777, aborting.
X: /tmp/.X11-unix has suspicious ownership, 1000:0 is not 0:0, aborting.
(If the `%o' were `%#o' too then the error would make clear the numbers are
octal.)
