Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4113

I have turned on firejail for the cinnamon desktop and it seems that file roller doesn't work, I am unable to compress files. I started using engrampa archive manager as an alternative.

Firejail - 0.9.64.4
Cinnamon - 4.8.6
File roller - 3.38

Do you get an error? Or how does it show that it don't work? Is the output empty? Not present? Or does it crash? Does this happen for every format or only for a special one (e.g. lzma)? Does this happen for every file or file in specific locations?

Compression bar stops at 85 % percentage always and doesn't complete the task. It happens in all locations that I have tried so far.

When comparing both profiles, the major differences reside in private-bin + private-etc. Have you tried adding the below to a file-roller.local yet?

ignore private-bin
ignore private-etc

Also, if you might be able to start file-roller from a terminal and post any errors/warnings thrown in there while it compresses/extracts one of your archives that would be very helpful. For now we don't have that much info to go on to determine why file-roller isn't working as expected.

For me (fedora 33; file-roller 3.38.0) it works = I could successfully create a tar.gz archive. I have not even had a compressionsbar, maybe because it where small files that was fast to compress.

Full diff:

$ fjp diff file-roller engrampa
The following commands are unique to file-roller.profile:
include file-roller.local
whitelist /usr/share/file-roller
include whitelist-runuser-common.inc
include whitelist-usr-share-common.inc
machine-id
seccomp.block-secondary
private-bin 7z,7za,7zr,ar,arj,bash,brotli,bzip2,compress,cpio,dpkg-deb,file-roller,gtar,gzip,isoinfo,lha,lrzip,lsar,lz4,lzip,lzma,lzop,p7zip,rar,rzip,sh,tar,unace,unalz,unar,uncompress,unrar,unsquashfs,unstuff,unzip,xz,zip,zoo
private-cache
private-etc dconf,fonts,gtk-3.0,xdg

The following commands are unique to engrampa.profile:
include engrampa.local

wusc: could break; but then it would break from start and not at 85%
wruc: should not break
machine-id: unlikely
seccomp.block-secondary: error will show up with journalctl --boot --grep=SECCOMP --follow
private-bin: could break a specific format or with a changed login shell
private-cache: maybe
private-etc: very short

private-{bin,etc} can be cheked with firejail --build file-roller | grep -E "private-(bin|etc)".

@rusty-snake
I am not good at using the command line and use GUI only, relatively new to linux sorry if am not helpful. Might be because I am using Manjaro and
I also used $ sudo aa-enforce firejail-default too.

I think I can reproduce this now. @mystic-githuber can you confirm that adding cp,mv,rm to private-bin fixes this issue.

BTW: zstd is missing too.
