Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/6855

Description

Kontact is a KDE's productivity suite all within one app. The calendar, mail, etc work but the RSS feed option is giving a repeated pop-up error message:
Access denied: Cannot save feed list to /home/$USER/.local/share/akregator/data//feeds.opml. Please check your permissions.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Use the default profile and navigate to the Akgregator tab (Ctrl + 6)

Behavior without a profile

No pop up

Additional context

Give the existing profile, my uneducated guess is that putting this in the kontact profile or kontact.local will solve it:
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/akgregator

Environment

  • Name/version/arch of the Linux kernel (uname -srm): Linux 6.12.10-amd64 x86_64
  • Name/version of the Linux distribution (e.g. "Ubuntu 20.04" or "Arch Linux"): Debian Trixie
  • Name/version of the relevant program(s)/package(s) (e.g. "firefox 134.0-1,
    mesa 1:24.3.3-2"): kontact 6.3.3 (24.12.3)
  • Version of Firejail (firejail --version): 0.9.74

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)

The logs are missing; please follow the bug report template:

Give the existing profile, my uneducated guess is that putting this in the
kontact profile or kontact.local will solve it: noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/akgregator

If you do that, does it work?

akregator.profile has some other program-specific paths:

noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/akregatorrc
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/akregator
noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/kxmlgui5/akregator

What is the output of trace.txt with the following?

# Open the program:
firejail --trace=trace.txt /usr/bin/kontact

# Switch through all tabs (including the akregator tab), then close the
# program.
