Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/6171

Hey, I'm using firejail on Arch Linux. My problem: --version shows version of firejail and not of the actual program (and/or some additional debug output).

What I expect:

kmille@linbox:~ /usr/bin/evince --version
GNOME Document Viewer 45.0

What I get

kmille@linbox:~ evince --version

This is expected/intended behaviour. You can add quite to evince.profile or set quiet-by-default yes in firejail.config to make firejail quite for evince/global.

Reopening, there's a regression from f019f0ec3f (@kmk3).

Thanks for the explanation! Not sure what you mean with the regression thing. I tried quiet, there is still an issue:

What I'm actually trying to do is (I guess ocrmypdf calls tesseract --version):

kmille@linbox:tmp ocrmypdf test.pdf 123.pdf

The program 'tesseract' did not report its version. Message was:                                                                                                                                                                 __main__.py:69

Firejail profiles are imperative, quiet takes effect from the time it is read. If quiet is not the first command in a profile, everything before it may produces some output. Related: #3503

~/.config/firejail/tesseract.profile:

quiet
include ${CFG}/tesseract.profile

@kmille on Jan 26:

Hey, I'm using firejail on Arch Linux. My problem: --version shows version
of firejail and not of the actual program (and/or some additional debug
output).

It does show the version of the program. From your log:

What I expect:

kmille@linbox:~ /usr/bin/evince --version
GNOME Document Viewer 45.0

What I get

kmille@linbox:~ evince --version

GNOME Document Viewer 45.0

The firejail version is just part of the normal firejail output.

evince is a GUI program (and is not used as a CLI as far as I know), so it is
not quiet by default.

This is working as intended.

So it seems that the actual issue is that tesseract is a CLI program but its
profile does not contain quiet. That can be easily fixed.
