Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2048

I'm on ArchLinux trying to run evince on a PDF with annotations. However the annotations appear empty. When running firejail --noprofile evince everything works as expected. When saving a document when viewing it with the evince.profile existing annotations are lost.

Output when opening a PDF with one annotation:

If you comment private-lib in /etc/firejail/evince.profile will the annotation work again?

Changing

private-lib evince,gdk-pixbuf-2.0,gio,gvfs/libgvfscommon.so,libgconf-2.so.4,libpoppler-glib.so.8,librsvg-2.so.2

to

#private-lib evince,gdk-pixbuf-2.0,gio,gvfs/libgvfscommon.so,libgconf-2.so.4,libpoppler-glib.so.8,librsvg-2.so.2

in /etc/firejail/evince.profile indeed does the trick.

This suggests some library is missing from the private-lib predicate. Does anyone know which libraries evince uses for reading annotations?

@schferbe For now, you can also put ignore private-lib in /etc/firejail/evince.local so that upgrades won't rewrite your changes.

Should be fixed. @schferbe, please re-open if the updated profile doesn't work for you.

@reinerh commented on GitHub (Oct 3, 2018):

@chiraag-nataraj I reopen it, because your fix only fixes it for glibc-based x86_64 systems.
I don't think we should hardcode that in profiles (some distributions might even have different library paths).
Can you please try to solve it in a generic way?

@reinerh Welp. Lemme fix that (thanks for the catch...I basically only exclusively use x86_64 systems).

Adding gconv to private-lib seems to fix things. If there are problems on platforms where gconv is not used, we will address those then, but I have no way of testing those at the moment.
