Hi,

I like using flameshot for taking screen shots, but it doesn't work when used with firejail. I'm running Debian Buster.

Running flameshot with firejail:

If I comment out no3d and private-tmp it works.

iirc no3d is needed for some programs when running under wayland
but I don't know why private-tmp would cause issue

we will have to adjust and note the profile

@SkewedZeppelin If I only comment out no3d I don't get the error, but nothing happens when I click Take screenshot.

@kabo hmm, maybe private-tmp breaks the new Mutter screencast API
