Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/6080

Description

can't use "open with..." in file-roller because dbus is broker. without firejail it works

Steps to Reproduce

  1. run file-roller <some archive>
  2. rmb on any file within the archive, click on 'open with...'
  3. see error GDBUS error ... org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown

Expected behavior

app picker should appear

Actual behavior

error popup appears

Behavior without a profile

$ firejail --noprofile /usr/bin/file-roller downloads/archive.rar
firejail version 0.9.73

Parent pid 110214, child pid 110215
Base filesystem installed in 0.06 ms
Child process initialized in 5.70 ms

Parent is shutting down, bye...

Environment

  • Linux distribution and version: Arch Linux
  • Firejail version: 0.9.73 (git commit: 37e40e0206)

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)

If you want to use open-with, start with

[...] Portal operation not allowed: Unable to open /proc/32339/root

This might be due to noroot, cfr. https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/2506#issuecomment-469047491. Try again adding ignore noroot.

/home/olk/.local/share/gvfs-metadata/home: open: Permission denied

disable-common.inc blocks that path. Try again adding noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/gvfs-metadata.

Please note that all these ignores do loosen the file-roller sandbox. If you really need the "open with..." functionality you'll have to do that. Alternatively you could keep the sandbox as tight as possible, extract the file(s) you need and open those separately from file-roller. Such a workflow has the added benefit of opening them with a dedicated, fully sandboxed app (when the mimetype is supported obviously). Always up to user discretion/personal preferences to determine the balance between security/ease-of-use...

thanks, that works:

$ bat -p /etc/firejail/file-roller.local
ignore include disable-programs.inc
ignore private-bin
ignore dbus-user filter
ignore noroot
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/gvfs-metadata

thanks, that works:

@k1gen Now you've got the portal working by using ignore noroot it might be possible to keep dbus-user filtering. Try exchanging ignore dbus-user filter with dbus-user.talk org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop.
