Description

Audacity crashes with SIGABRT when trying to open the file dialog via File->Open... from the menu bar.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run audacity with the default profile
  2. Navigate to the menu bar and click on File
  3. Navigate to the Open... option and click
  4. Audacity crashes

Expected behavior

The file dialog should open.

Actual behavior

Audacity crashes before the file dialog is displayed

Behavior without a profile

File dialog opens as expected.

Additional context

When private-tmp audacity and include disable-common.inc are removed from the profile, Audacity works as expected.

I've also been able to crash Audacity using the default profile when attempting to move the play head somewhere in the timeline after dragging and dropping a file to Audacity without using the file dialog.

Environment

  • Name/version/arch of the Linux kernel (uname -srm): Linux 6.16.10-artix1-1 x86_64
  • Name/version of the Linux distribution (e.g. "Ubuntu 20.04" or "Arch Linux"): Artix Linux
  • Name/version of the relevant program(s)/package(s) (e.g. "firefox 134.0-1,
    mesa 1:24.3.3-2"): Audacity 3.7.4 and 3.7.5 (older versions untested)
  • Version of Firejail (firejail --version): 0.9.76

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)

Missed that, sorry.

For others, the fix is adding this to audacity.local:

private-bin audacity,bwrap
noblacklist /usr/bin/bwrap
noblacklist /proc/sys/kernel/overflowuid
noblacklist /proc/sys/kernel/overflowgid

ignore seccomp !chroot
seccomp !chroot,!mount,!pivot_root,!umount2

Or on Arch installing the gdk-pixbuf2-noglycin AUR package which also fixed this.
