Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4895

Description

When trying to launch a PS2 game iso with Lutris the game doesn't start: it just displays a black screen, while the game does start when launching Lutris without the firejail profile (the latest firejail profile for it in this repo).

Steps to Reproduce

On Debian11/KDE with Wayland and Lutris 0.5.9.1 and firejail 0.9.64.4-2 launch a PS2 game iso. (The profile is used via firejail --profile= despite of the older firejail version.)

Expected behavior

The game should launch.

Actual behavior

The window shows and no error is shown but the game doesn't start.

Behavior without a profile

Additional context

It probably is unrelated to: https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues/4030 and may be caused by the old version of firejail in the Debain repos.

Environment

Linux distribution and version: Debian11/KDE with Wayland
Firejail version: 0.9.64.4-2

Checklist

The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
The program has a profile. (If not, request one in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1139)
The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
- I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)

@SkewedZeppelin commented on GitHub (Feb 3, 2022):

0.9.64.4-2

.68 will be out soon, maybe try newer version?

also consider directly running pcsx2 with its profile instead?

The latest version isn't in Debian's repos. However I just installed 0.9.66 from backports. The game still doesn't run (neither with the latest profile nor with the one of 0.9.66). It does show new errors in the console now though (see below).

I'd like to run all the games via Lutris and later via Kodi (via the Kodi-Lutris addon).

I deduplicated the error messages (all of the repeated many times). After only starting Lutris:

Starting Lutris 0.5.9.1
Loading of DXVK versions failed, defaulting to locally available versions
Loading of VKD3D versions failed, defaulting to locally available versions

No cores found
Failed to get url https://api.github.com/repos/lutris/dxvk/releases: HTTP Error 403: rate limit exceeded
Loading of DXVK versions failed, defaulting to locally available versions

when starting the game:

Started initial process ... from gamemoderun /home/username/.local/share/lutris/runners/pcsx2/PCSX2 /home/username/Games/dir/gamename.iso

and now it also shows an error message box PCSX2 Message "File not found. Path: IsoFileSystem" (with both lutris fj profiles). /home/username/Games is a link so I also tried setting the directory of the iso file (not the link) with noblacklist and whitelist in lutris.local but still get the same error.

I installed FJ latest from PPA yesterday and had the same problem (Lutris broken). I had to uninstall FJ to fix it so I can't post any further info, but this is still a problem.

I came to open an issue, but I see it's already reported here so thought I would add to it.
