Description

Since some firejail update, DeadBeeF (music player) fails to start with firejail. There are many errors of things that get "permission denied". For instance it can't even load it's icons in /usr/share/deadbeef/...

  1. Run in bash LC_ALL=C firejail /usr/bin/deadbeef
  2. DeadBeeF starts and aborts

Expected behavior

DeadBeeF starts and works.

Behavior without a profile

Works fine

Environment

  • Linux 6.16.8-arch3-1
  • Arch Linux
  • DeadBeeF 1.10.0
  • Firejail 0.9.76

Checklist

  • [ x] The issues is caused by firejail (i.e. running the program by path (e.g. /usr/bin/vlc) "fixes" it).
  • [ x] I can reproduce the issue without custom modifications (e.g. globals.local).
  • [ x] The program has a profile.
  • [x ] The profile (and redirect profile if exists) hasn't already been fixed upstream.
  • [ x] I have performed a short search for similar issues (to avoid opening a duplicate).
  • [ x] I'm aware of browser-allow-drm yes/browser-disable-u2f no in firejail.config to allow DRM/U2F in browsers.
  • [ x] I used --profile=PROFILENAME to set the right profile. (Only relevant for AppImages)
