Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1804

OS: ArchLinux x86_64
Firejail version: 0.9.52
(All packages are up to date)

Evince starts normally from Nautilus and other sandboxed softwares, but it is unable to launch evince from un-sandboxed one (e.g. terminal). It just stuck without any error message.

I just try to launch un-sandboxed nautilus and evince cannot start the same way with terminal.

Please take a look. If any more information or logs that could help you find the problem faster, please let me know.
Thank you very much.

I'm experiencing this as well with quite a few profiles. I think it might be Arch related, and not firejail, as I cannot reproduce it on my Fedora machines.

Maybe something has been changed in new version of softwares and libraries recently. Today I encounter the same problem with GNOME Calculator.

Do you know the way to gather more information, some kind of log or something that can make it easier for the developer to find the problem?

@birthstalker Are you on a git build?

I just checked again, and I cannot launch many profiles on either Arch or Fedora, running from git on both.
eog, file-roller, gedit, gnome-calculator all seem to refuse to ever launch. Nothing ever appearing in logs.

#1803 is most likely related, but gedit doesn't use mdwe.

I suspect we have two different bugs here. :)
I think #1803 is the cause of @birthstalker 's troubles and was fixed by @Vincent43

@SkewedZeppelin All of the profiles you listed have private-dev, which has recently broken for me on Fedora with dda8b2dbaf (see comments at bottom).

That GitHub reply via email thing never works for me.

Anyway, I think you're correct. Lets close this.
