@flurrylol Are you using the Nvidia proprietary drivers? If so, try running firejail --noroot google-chrome-stable and see if that works.

Reference: see #1753 #1755.

Yes I am using my Nvidia drivers.
Launching firejail --noroot google-chrome or firejail --noroot google-chrome gives this output :

ERROR:address_tracker_linux.cc(174)] Could not bind NETLINK socket: Address already in use (98) [5:43:0322/173051.464055:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(120)] Failed to launch GPU process. Created new window in existing browser session.

But youtube videos indeed work ! Thank you :-)

That's great! You can create a local copy of the chrome profile with noroot ignored so that you don't have to manually start it with --noroot every time.
Make .config/firejail/google-chrome-stable.profile with these lines:

ignore noroot
include /etc/firejail/google-chrome-stable.profile

Alternatively, if you have similar problems for lots of profiles, you may want to disable noroot globally:
sudo sh -c "echo 'ignore noroot' >> /etc/firejail/globals.local"

I think 0.9.38.10 doesn't support /etc/firejail/globals.local 😀

@Vincent43 You're right! Thanks!

@flurrylol if you need to use the second option in my last post, you'll have to upgrade to the most recent firejail release.

Well,, to be honest, I'm a bit lazy... so I already had an alias and I just added the argument (noroot) like this : alias fgc='nohup firejail --noroot google-chrome >/dev/null 2>&1 &'

@Fred-Barclay :
Hi, I was wondering about

upgrade to the most recent firejail release

If I clone the git-repo and follow installation steps of the README.md, everything works fine except that my version is still 0.9.38 (firejail --version).
I'm probably missing something...but what ?

EDIT : I had a conflict between the version installed from package, and the git version. This is now fixed !
