Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2126

My system is Suse Leap 15.

I created a separate user, e.g. 'wine_jailed' to run 'wine'. Open 'Konsole' from my current login:

$su wine_jailed
$cp /etc/firejail/wine.profile ~/.config/firejail/

and edit the wine.profile, I added the following lines:

#############
blacklist /media
blacklist /mnt

noblacklist ${HOME}/.wine
whitelist ${HOME}/.wine

include /etc/firejail/whitelist-common.inc
include /etc/firejail/default.profile

then, run:
firejail wine explorer

but get errors:

No protocol specified
No protocol specified
0009:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Application tried to create a window, but no driver could be loaded.
0009:err:winediag:nodrv_CreateWindow Make sure that your X server is running and that $DISPLAY is set correctly.

I tried to add:

noblacklist /tmp/.X11-unix
whitelist /tmp/.X11-unix

but not sucess.

It works if remove the lines:

noblacklist ${HOME}/.wine
whitelist ${HOME}/.wine

include /etc/firejail/whitelist-common.inc

I found an answer, I don't know if this's the best solution, but it works:

Yes, I think adding user with xhost is the right solution.
