Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1578

I thought there was a way to launch linux operating systems stored in separate hard drives/partitions through firejail. I wanted to test it out by launching a nested X Session of Xubuntu 17.04 by running firejail --x11 --chroot=/run/media/Xubuntu-OS-mount-point, but it keeps failing with a error message about a bad "/etc/resolv.conf" file. I also can't find the guide that I remember viewing on the wordpress blog. Does that mean firejail can't do this sort of thing anymore?

Okay, is the fix already applied to the Arch (Manajaro) Linux package?

@esotericDisciple It won't be in the mainline Arch repo until firejail version 0.9.52 is released. In the meantime you could build firejail from the latest code here on Github with git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/netblue30/firejail.git && cd firejail && ./configure --prefix=/usr && make && sudo make install-strip. There is also a firejail-git package in the AUR, though I've not tried it.
