Info:

system: Linux Lite 6.2
firejail version: 0.9.74

Hi all, 👋

I used to employ the command firejail keepassxc and it has always worked well.
As of late, however, it failed to do so. The GUI wouldn´t open and firejail closed down immediately:

  D-Bus not built with -rdynamic so unable to print a backtrace

Parent is shutting down, bye...

This part seems to be crucial, I think:

(Failed to open "/var/lib/dbus/machine-id": No such file or directory; Failed to open "/etc/machine-id": No such file or directory)

So I tired employing this command, which worked as desired:

firejail --private-etc=machine-id keepassxc.

... though I still got these messages:

[...]

Base filesystem installed in 78.62 ms
Seccomp list in: !name_to_handle_at, check list: @default-keep, prelist: unknown,

libGL error: glx: failed to create dri3 screen
libGL error: failed to load driver: crocus
libGL error: failed to open /dev/dri/card0: No such file or directory
libGL error: failed to load driver: crocus

But the keepasscx GUI opened up and the programme could be used without any problems.
No idea what brought about the change in behaviour. 🤔

So, is it alright to use the command firejail --private-etc=machine-id keepassxc then ❓

Thanks a lot in advance and many greetings from Rosika 🙂

Thanks for reporting; it should be fixed in:

This is likely due to no3d, so feel free to ignore mesa/libGL error messages.

Yes.

@kmk3 :

Hi Kelvin, 👋

thanks for your reply.

it should be fixed in:
https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/pull/6828

That´s great. Thanks a lot.

This is likely due to no3d, so feel free to ignore mesa/libGL error messages.

I see. Thanks for the explanation.

For the time being I´ll use the command firejail --private-etc=machine-id keepassxc.
Your confirmation is highly appreciated.

Thanks again and many greetings from Rosika 🙂
