Originally created by @viking777 on GitHub (Jan 3, 2017).
Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1019

The following profiles which I use all have 'private-dev' in their profile files:
thunderbird, keepassx, evince, opera, vlc, libreoffice.
However an audit of any of them always gives the warning:
"/dev directory seems to be fully populated. Use --private-dev or --whitelist to restrict the access."

Does this mean that the 'private-dev' option is not working?

In case it helps confirm/working as expected for this ticket:
I use a slightly modified launcher for keepassx2 with --audit results;
GOOD: Access to /dev directory is restricted.
I also tested with the original profile with the same audit results (re: /dev directory)
Tested on Arch Linux, firejail version 0.9.45

Thanks saildata, works for me also.
That's a hell of a long launcher though!

@viking777 glad to hear it resolved the issue! Hopefully it's not a bug, then.

I can't replicate this today (firejail 0.9.52)... let's close for now and reopen if we need to.
