Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2383
When I run
firejail vivaldiI cannot watch YouTube videos that are streaming or were previously streamed. I receive a message that states "An error occurred. Please try again later..."I can watch non streamed YouTube videos without any issue. I can also watch the streamed and streaming YouTube vidoes in Vivaldi without firejail.
If I close Vivaldi and run
firejail --noprofile vivaldiI can watch the streamed and streaming YouTube videos without any issue.Any thoughts on why I need to use --noprofile and what I need to do to resolve this issue?
Setup:
Mint LMDE 3
Vivaldi version: 2.2.1388.37 (Stable) 64 bit
Firejail version: 0.9.59
@SkewedZeppelin commented on GitHub (Jan 30, 2019):
Are you using the proprietary NVIDIA drivers?
Using --noprofile, provides little to no security benefits.
@aberja commented on GitHub (Jan 30, 2019):
Yes, I'm using proprietary NVIDIA drivers for the GTX1070 video card on my ASUS G752vs laptop.
NVIDIA Driver version: 384.130

Does
firejail --ignore=noroot vivaldiwork?@aberja commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2019):
Thanks for the suggestion. However, when I run
firejail --ignore=noroot vivaldior justfirejail vivaldiI receive the following message:Even after running the following command
and restarting Vivaldi, I receive the same message when I run Vivaldi using firejail.
I realize that running
firejail --noprofile vivaldileaves me with little to no security benefits and it's not a method I want to use. But as a comparison, when I do run using --noprofile, the only messages I receive prior to Vivaldi starting up and being able to run streaming YouTube videos are:@rusty-snake commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2019):
Does
firejail --ignore=private-dev vivaldiwork?@ghost commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2019):
it's a problem related to codecs, the /dev errors are not related i have those errors and it's working, i'm on manjaro the first time i have launched vivaldi in firejail i was able to play a live stream on youtube then it stopped to works with or without firejail, and the same message about codecs and youtube error

to fix this i had to install vivaldi-ffmpeg-codecs, (vivaldi-codecs-ffmpeg-extra-bin on aur for precompiled bins) and it works again with
firejail vivaldi-stableand default probiles, nvidia proprietary driversedit not sure if it matter but i notice that you have installed version of codecs 70.* will mine are 71.0.3578.98-0
also maybe it can help to find your problem the install script for my codecs contains:
install -Dm644 "$srcdir/usr/lib/chromium-browser/libffmpeg.so" "$pkgdir/opt/vivaldi/libffmpeg.so"
@aberja commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2019):
No that does not resolve the issue.
I hear what you are saying but if I run
firejail vivaldior any of the other varieties with firejail I receive the codecs message and streaming YouTube videos will not run.if I just run
vivaldi, I never receive the codecs issue and the streaming YouTube videos always work.Thanks for the heads-up on the codecs 71 vs 70. Although I noticed that your screenshot from vivaldi refers to the same 70 codec that I have installed. I'm assuming your codecs 71.* is coming from the arch repository which I think is always on the bleeding edge :)
@SkewedZeppelin commented on GitHub (Jan 31, 2019):
hmm, can you try
firejail --ignore='noexec ${HOME}' vivaldi@aberja commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
Unfortunately, that also returns the same codec issue.
@SkewedZeppelin commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
Can you sudo edit
/usr/local/etc/firejail/vivaldi.profile, comment all of the lower options and enable one by one until it stops working then?@aberja commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
I need to comment out the following 3 lines to be able to run
firejail vivaldiwithout receiving the codecs issue:If I uncomment any of the above 3, the codec warning reappears when running
firejail vivaldi@SkewedZeppelin commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
Try
firejail --ignore='noexec ${HOME}' --whitelist=~/.local/lib/vivaldi vivaldi@aberja commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
Yes, Vivaldi runs with no codec issue :) However, I receive the following:
@netblue30 commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
If you disregard the warning, is everything else working?
@aberja commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
Yes, ignoring the warnings, everything else appears to be working and I can watch streaming YouTube Videos in Vivaldi when I run
firejail --ignore='noexec ${HOME}' --whitelist=~/.local/lib/vivaldi vivaldi.Do I lose any security benefits starting Vivaldi with the above command?
@SkewedZeppelin commented on GitHub (Feb 1, 2019):
noexec was partially broken in previous releases (wasn't recursive), so if you've been running like that for however long, then there is no difference.
@netblue30 commented on GitHub (Feb 5, 2019):
We have a fix on mainline, you can give it a try.
@aberja commented on GitHub (Feb 7, 2019):
With the fix, I can watch streaming YouTube videos with
firejail vivaldi. However, I am getting new error messages (Which don't seem to be creating any issues):@rusty-snake commented on GitHub (Jun 8, 2019):
@aberja is this still an issue and if so, is anything broken or are these only strange error mesages? Maybe
noautopulsecan fix this (IDK).@rusty-snake commented on GitHub (Oct 30, 2019):
I'm closing here due to inactivity, please fell free to request reopen if you still have this issue.
