Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/6094

Description

Flameshot isn't successfully launching.

Steps to Reproduce

Run in bash LC_ALL=C firejail flameshot (LC_ALL=C to get a consistent
output in English that can be understood by everybody)
The application doesn't start.

Expected behavior

Application starts.

Actual behavior

Application does not start.

Behavior without a profile

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

The application starts and functions without any issue.

Environment

Fedora 39
Firejail version 0.9.73
GNOME 45.1

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)

Log

I know. 5d0822c52c removed /etc/machine-id for a lot programs that actually need it.

Yep, I can confirm changing private-etc @tls-ca to private-etc @tls-ca,machine-id in the profile appears to have fixed the problem.
