Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2355

firejail 0.9.56-1 on Arch Linux ( Linux devbox 4.20.3-arch1-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 16 22:38:58 UTC 2019 x86_64 GNU/Linux) and chromium 71.0.3578.98-3

With /etc/firejail/chromium.local

ignore nodbus

I can open a file upload dialog just fine, however the list of the files is populated with a significant delay.

I run Chromium as:

#!/bin/bash

ARGS="--force-device-scale-factor=2.0"

/sbin/firejail --debug --profile=/etc/firejail/chromium.profile --join-or-start="chromium" /sbin/chromium $ARGS $*

and the content of /etc/firejail/chromium.profile:

# Firejail profile for chromium
# Description: A web browser built for speed, simplicity, and security
# This file is overwritten after every install/update
# Persistent local customizations
include /etc/firejail/chromium.local
# Persistent global definitions
include /etc/firejail/globals.local

noblacklist ${HOME}/.cache/chromium
noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/chromium

What happens if you re-enable nodbus?

  • with nodbus enabled - chrome is frozen for 10-15 seconds, can't click anywhere, can't drag the dialog window, can't close it.
  • with nodbus disabled - chrome is operable, the file dialog shows no files for ~5 seconds, then renders the list of the files.

Hmm, I see. Interestingly, nodbus works just fine on my system, but I'm on Debian...

Easiest way to debug is to copy the contents of /etc/firejail/chromium-common.profile into your local profile, comment everything out, and start uncommenting things until chromium breaks again.

Well, in my case it does launch, no matter whether nodbus is enabled or not. There's something else going on.

Just checked with the firefox - it behaves exactly the same, perhaps the issue is not related to chromium, but to the GTK file chooser dialog?
