Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/4935

Hi all,

after upgrading firejail to the latest version 0.9.68 I seem to run into problems when trying to use "translate shell".

In order to make sure it has nothing to with "translate shell" itself I downloaded the latest version of it: https://www.soimort.org/translate-shell/
That way I got the "trans"-script written in Perl. After making it executable:
chmod +x ./trans
it should work.

From the respective directory: (example):

./trans -shell hu:en

And it does. But when trying to run it from within firejail the programm still starts but hangs at a certain point:

Parent pid 14014, child pid 14015
Child process initialized in 22.17 ms
Translate Shell
(:q to quit)
Magyar> ház

Nothing happens and I can eventually quit the process by invoking "CTRL-C":

Parent received signal 2, shutting down the child process...
Child received signal 2, shutting down the sandbox...
Parent is shutting down, bye...

Curiously enough "firejail --noprofile" yields the exact same results.

Until now the "/.trans"-command used to work perfectly within firejail. It´s just the latest firejail version which seems to trigger the problem...

Can anybody help, please?

Many thanks in advance and many greetings.

Rosika

P.S.:

My system: Linux Lubuntu 20.04.3 LTS, 64 bit

UPDATE:

Hi again,

what strikes me as odd is the following fact:

From the terminal I can cd into the directory where the trans script resides:
cd /media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/Ergänzungen_zu_Programmen/zu_translate-shell_Feb2022/
Then:
firejail --private=(pwd)

From the sandbox created this way trans can be used as per normal:

./trans -shell hu:en
Translate Shell
(:q to quit)
Magyar> ház
ház

house

Definitionen von ház
[ Magyar -> English ]

Substantiv

But it just works this way and apparently no other...

Hi @rusty-snake,

thanks for helping me.

I´ve tried what you suggested:

firejail --noprofile /bin/sh -c "/media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/Ergänzungen_zu_Programmen/zu_translate-shell_Feb2022/trans -shell hu:en" 
Parent pid 27778, child pid 27779
Child process initialized in 20.41 ms
Translate Shell
(:q to quit)
Magyar> ház

So the trans process is still stuck like in the beginning.
Sorry.

This command didn´t require any internet connection, I guess.
Could it mean that internet connection is somehow refused?

Hi again,

I don´t know if it helps at all but just want to let you know:
In order to get trans working I don´t even have to cd into the respective folder but can start it from anywhere.
The direct command then works even with the default.profile.

BUT: I have to create an empty sandbox first. From there I can invoke the respective command by adding the correct path:

rosika@rosika-10159 ~ [SIGINT]> firejail
Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc

** Note: you can use --noprofile to disable default.profile **

After using trans I can close the sandbox.
Yet it seems to work just this way.

I´m still at a loss as why to the command

firejail --noprofile /bin/sh -c "/media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/Ergänzungen_zu_Programmen/zu_translate-shell_Feb2022/trans -shell hu:en"

Hi once more,

in order to find out some more about the matter I copied the folder containing the trans script to my Debian buster virtual machine with sftp.
Here an older version of firejail is installed:

  • Lubuntu (where the problem exists): 0.9.68-3~0ubuntu20.04.0
  • Debian: 0.9.58.2-2+deb10u2

BUT actually in Debian the old command works:

rosika2@debian ~> firejail --private=/home/rosika2/Dokumente/Ergänzungen_zu_Programmen/zu_translate-shell_Feb2022 ./trans -shell hu:en
Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile

Parent is shutting down, bye...

So I took a closer look at the profiles which are read during the initializing process and there is one difference between the two firejail versions:

In Lubuntu with firejail version 0.9.68-3~0ubuntu20.04.0:

Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc
Warning: networking feature is disabled in Firejail configuration file

** Note: you can use --noprofile to disable default.profile **

In Debian with firejail version 0.9.58.2-2+deb10u2:

Reading profile /etc/firejail/default.profile
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-passwdmgr.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc
Warning: networking feature is disabled in Firejail configuration file

** Note: you can use --noprofile to disable default.profile **

The difference being

Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-passwdmgr.inc

which is only set in the older version.
It seems this one (or rather the lack of it) should be responsible for the problem.
Yet I´m not totally sure of that.

Many greetings from Rosika

Hi,

o.k., thanks for the feedback.

That was just a wild guess on my part as I couldn´t find any other differences in the behaviour of the two firejail versions (see above).

Many greetings
Rosika

Anything useful if you run firejail --profile=noprofile ./trans --debug?
firejail --profile=noprofile /usr/bin/gawk --debug -f ./trans?

Hi @rusty-snake,

thanks so much for your help.

The first command won´t work and I get this output:

firejail --profile=noprofile ./trans --debug
Reading profile /etc/firejail/noprofile.profile

Warning: cannot open source file /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/firejail/seccomp.debug32, file not copied

As for the second command I get this:

Parent is shutting down, bye...

Here firejail shuts down by itself.

Hopefully this will help a bit. I myself am not sure what to make of it.

Many thanks and many greetings.
