Hi,

I get the following error when I run Franz with firejail:

firejail --appimage ./franz-5.0.0-beta.19-x86_64.AppImage
Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc

** Note: you can use --noprofile to disable default.profile **

Parent is shutting down, bye...

I'm running firejail version 0.9.52 that is packaged with Ubuntu Mate 18.04. What do I need to do to run the Franz appimage in Firejail?

Thanks!

firejail --appimage ./franz-5.0.0-beta.19-x86_64.AppImage
Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile

Firejail picks the default profile, which leads to ~/.config/Franz being blacklisted. And then this happens:

Error: EACCES: permission denied, mkdir '/home/nemo/.config/Franz/recipes/temp'

So you would need to start it like: firejail --appimage --profile=/etc/firejail/franz.profile ./franz-5.0.0-beta.19-x86_64.AppImage

Thank you for that information! When I ran the command you suggested, I get the following error message:

Which shell do I need to specify? Thanks again for the help!

It looks like this is a bug that got fixed in version 0.9.54, the relevant commit is 1738bbf718

You will need to upgrade your Firejail. For Ubuntu/Mint there is a PPA which should keep you up to date.

Or, alternatively, if you don't want to upgrade, what should also work is firejail --appimage --ignore=shell --profile=/etc/firejail/franz.profile ./franz-5.0.0-beta.19-x86_64.AppImage

Thank you for all that information and help! I ran the last command and Franz works perfectly. The only small issue I have is that in the window title bar it says that I'm running Franz as a superuser - which I think isn't correct. This is probably a Ubuntu Mate bug, could you please just confirm that this isn't the case for my own peace of mind :)

Either way, I will upgrade Firejail to the newest version. Has your development team considered packaging Firejail as a snap or a flatpak? That would be easier for managing dependencies for newbies like me :)
