Description

Whalebird-4.6.2 does not start using the default whalebird.profile. I had to comment out private-etc and add ignore apparmor to make it work.

Steps to Reproduce

Expected behavior

Actual behavior

Output with the default profile

I got past this by adding "ignore apparmor". After that:

...and then a very, very long list of json code, I suppose whalebird's internal configuration, and finally:

    at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:96:5)

At that point whalebird started, but couldn't connect anywhere in the net. Commenting out the "private-etc" section in the whalebird.profile fixed this and allowed whalebird to run normally.

Do you need the full output? As I said above it is a very, very, very long file...

Behavior without a profile

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

Whalebird started normally.

Additional context

Environment

  • Linux distribution and version: Arch Linux
  • Firejail version: 0.9.70

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)

Can you try

ignore apparmor

Yeah, thanks for the fast response! That fixed the issue :).
Whalebird runs now normally with firejail.
