Can you check if 72eac26 fixed that too.

@rusty-snake IMO it is related (cfr. the discussion in #5281). I normally don't use audacity but have installed it to test all this. Will need some time. But I can already confirm having apparmor + private-bin works flawlessly on Arch Linux. But we might need to loosen up the profile to support distro's where private-bin might be causing issues.

@anomalocaris452 What distro are you running? And do you actually use AppArmor?

On another note, Audacity 3.2.2 apparently now supports XDG_CONFIG_HOME. It no longer uses ${HOME/.audacity-data by default. I'll be opening a PR for this shortly, as that's something we can do right now without breaking things.

Fine, thanks. I assume Manjaro packages Audacity in the same way Arch Linux does, but I'll check up on that.

We still would like to know if you're running with AppArmor enabled or not. Details on how to find out are on the Arch wiki. This can help us to determine how best to fix this. Currently our audacity.profile is pretty tight, and private-bin audacity is an important part of that, which we'd prefer to keep as tight as possible. Also, we just recently made a few changes to it, as Audacity 3.2.2 started to support different configuration locations:

#5538
#5540

If you still have a ${HOME}/.audacity-data, move that out of the way and test with the below ~/.config/firejail/audacity.profile if you can:

# Firejail profile for audacity
# Description: Fast, cross-platform audio editor
# This file is overwritten after every install/update
# Persistent local customizations
include audacity.local
# Persistent global definitions
include globals.local

# Add the below lines to your audacity.local if you need online plugins.
#ignore net none
#netfilter
#protocol inet6

noblacklist ${HOME}/.audacity-data
noblacklist ${HOME}/.cache/audacity
noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/audacity
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/audacity
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/state/audacity
