firejail 0.9.50 on ubuntu is fine with private-dev but i had to insert at the top:

noblacklist /var/run/systemd
read-only /var/run/systemd

otherwise it will not start

G'day @badpenguin
Can you try with the newest firejail 0.9.52 release? Version 0.9.50 is the old release and won't be getting security or stability updates.
Cheers!
Fred

And also:

noblacklist /var/run/systemd
read-only /var/run/systemd

did not help too.

@Real-Gecko It is a bug in firejail that will be fixed in the upcoming release (there are some more details in #1740).

For the meantime go to /etc/firejail/skypeforlinux.profile and comment private-dev (add a # in front of it), that will get it running.

Guys, how to run skypeforlinux with firejail correctly so it won't see home dir? I tried like mentioned in #1740:

firejail --profile=~/.config/firejail/skypeforlinux.profile skypeforlinux

got:

/usr/bin/skypeforlinux: line 3: /usr/bin/readlink: Permission denied
dirname: missing operand
Try 'dirname --help' for more information.
/usr/bin/skypeforlinux: line 4: /usr/bin/readlink: Permission denied
/usr/bin/skypeforlinux: line 9: /usr/bin/mkdir: Permission denied

@badpenguin never responded to the request for more information. @Real-Gecko, seems like your issue was resolved. @akontsevich, I will be closing this issue due to inactivity, but please feel free to re-open if this is still not working for you.
