Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2975

I just installed firejail (from the repositories) on OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

firejail mplayer
Error: cannot create /run/firejail/profile/12562

And I get this with any other application.

So it seems missing suid bit on binary, please try sudo chmod u+s /usr/bin/firejail.

Does not seem to set it.

I removed the package and installed again, and now it's set as root and firejail group, and I can set suid bit.

-rwsr-x--- 1 root firejail 376552 9 lug 14.09 /usr/bin/firejail

now it fails with

firejail filezilla
bash: /usr/bin/firejail: Permission denied

while if run as root it kinda works (starts up but then errors out claiming DISPLAY is not set properly.

My user "alby" is not part of firejail group though.

Hm, added my user to firejail group, logged out, logged in, and now it's working.

So it seems the installation does not add me to the user group.

Yes, opensuse requires users to manually add themselves to firejail group in order to use it, this is intentional and was requirement for including firejail in their repos, see https://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059013
