Hi,

I wanted to use firejail with my wine installation but I can't use steam with it because it stucks at "Connecting to X's steam account..." due to the lack of internet connection(I do have internet with sandboxed native apps). The logs don't tell much:

I've tried to downgrade firejail(I'm using 0.9.50) versions down to 0.9.44. I've also tried firejail-git from AUR and tried the integrated internet explorer - no internet with that either.

I'd appreciate any hint. Thanks in advance!

(ps: this issue is a 'repost' because my previous temporary account has been deleted with the reported issue without a notice from github. This is why github is a terrible service.)

Hi, I've installed wine-staging and after I removed the seccomp line from the end of /etc/firejail/wine.profile things started to work properly. Is that a security flaw or is there anything we can do to put it back while not breaking wine+steam?

See https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Firejail#Troubleshooting

Some applications do not work properly with Firejail, and others simply require special configuration .... One example is wine; wine will not work with seccomp in most cases.
