Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4511

Write clear, concise and in textual form.

Bug and expected behavior

Describe the bug.

firejail doesn't exit after closing telegram-desktop

What did you expect to happen?

Close telegram-desktop, firejail container closes automatically (as usual)

No profile and disabling firejail

What changed calling firejail --noprofile /path/to/program in a terminal?

Parent is shutting down, bye...

What changed calling the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc)?

Everything is OK.

Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Run in shell firejail telegram-desktop
Press on tray telegram icon
Click on 'Quit'
You can see that firejail still works an doesn't exit.

Environment

Linux distribution and version (ie output of lsb_release -a, screenfetch or cat /etc/os-release)

Arch Linux 5.13.12-arch1-1

Firejail version (output of firejail --version) exclusive or used git commit (git rev-parse HEAD)

firejail version 0.9.66

Additional context

Other context about the problem like related errors to understand the problem.

Checklist

The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
If it is a AppImage, --profile=PROFILENAME is used to set the right profile.
Used LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 LANG=en_US.UTF-8 PROGRAM to get english error-messages.
I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
This is not a question. Questions should be asked in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/discussions.

Log

Lines after clicking 'Quit':

I think I found related issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/928

Also, pstree | grep telegram when Telegram runs in firejail:

        |                     `-firejail-+-telegram-deskto---23*[{telegram-deskto}]
        |                                `-telegram-deskto---2*[{telegram-deskto}]

and when I quit telegram but firejail still work:

        |                     `-firejail---telegram-deskto---2*[{telegram-deskto}]

UPD: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/3949#issuecomment-777846121 this comment helped me but I won't close issue if some better option exist

I found a possible solution.
To add in .profile the following line:
ignore dbus-user

@rusty-snake,
do you think it could be better to work on dbus-user filter

P.S. In $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR I cannod find Telegram related files

yes

That was exactly my thought

This works:
Add in .config/firejail/telegram.local

dbus-user.own org.telegram.desktop
dbus-user.own org.telegram.desktop.*

@rusty-snake
In that way, it doesnt work.

The only way seems to set the bus as already set in
telegram.profile

We need:
dbus-user.own org.telegram.desktop.*
And we don't need:
dbus-user.own org.telegram.desktop

I think I found related issue: #928

That was closed by #4635. Does the issue still happen on master?

Also, pstree | grep telegram when Telegram runs in firejail:
        |                     `-firejail-+-telegram-deskto---23*[{telegram-deskto}]
        |                                `-telegram-deskto---2*[{telegram-deskto}]
and when I quit telegram but firejail still work:
        |                     `-firejail---telegram-deskto---2*[{telegram-deskto}]
UPD: #3949 (comment)
this comment helped me but I won't close issue if some better option exist

Glad it helped :)
