Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1748

google-play-music-desktop-player isn't working anymore when using the symlink to firejail as below:

ls -l /usr/local/bin/google-play-music-desktop-player
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root staff 17 dez 11 10:26 /usr/local/bin/google-play-music-desktop-player -> /usr/bin/firejail*

That cause the following error:

$ google-play-music-desktop-player
google-play-music-desktop-player

Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc

/usr/bin/google-play-music-desktop-player: error while loading shared libraries: libnode.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Parent is shutting down, bye...

However, it works if you run it using the following forms:

# calling it from inside the directory containing the libnode.so file
$ cd /usr/share/google-play-music-desktop-player && google-play-music-desktop-player

or

firejail --profile=/etc/firejail/google-play-music-desktop-player.profile google-play-music-desktop-player

Hi @semente, can you please try firejail --ignore=noroot google-play-music-desktop-player and let us know if that works?

EDIT: If above command makes it work, could you also let us know if you are running with proprietary nvidia graphics drivers? See #1755.

@semente commented on GitHub (Jan 29, 2018):

Hi @smitsohu! It works but it also works even when I run it using only firejail google-play-music-desktop-player. What is not working is when I try to run it using the symlink named /usr/local/bin/google-play-music-desktop-player that points to /usr/bin/firejail. For some reason it can't load the shared library libnode.so that is found on /usr/share/google-play-music-desktop-player/libnode.so.

But if I call the symlink from inside the directory /usr/share/google-play-music-desktop-player/ it works as expected. I guess this shared library is placed in the wrong path... so I'm wondering if there is any way to tell in a Firejail profile what is the working directory so it can run the software from inside the right directory, or if you or somebody know any other option that could solve this issue. Otherwise I think the best is create a wrapper script for it but other users may experience the same issue while trying this Firejail symlink mechanism.

hi @smitsohu
I'm using Firejail package from Debian stretch-backports. It is currently on 0.9.52. I will wait it get an update, but if take too long I may compile this version to do the test. Thanks!
