Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1080

# Modified steam.profile

# TODO:
#   Fix controller support.

noblacklist ${HOME}/.local/share/Owlboy
noblacklist ${HOME}/.config/Owlboy
include /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
include /etc/firejail/disable-programs.inc

caps.drop all
netfilter

With the above configuration I am unable to use controllers in Owlboy (as well as detect them in other games). How can I go about debugging which option is blacklisting the controllers?

This is very strange:

firejail --noprofile gog-owlboy
Parent pid 3820, child pid 3821
Child process initialized <<<<<<<<<<<< the sandbox is up and running
Firejail detected; attempting to enforce a sandbox... <<< the game tries to start another firejail sandbox!!!
No Firejail profile detected!
Skipping Firejail sandbox...
cat: gameinfo: No such file or directory

It behaves as if a firejail sandbox is already embedded into the game!

What happens if you start the game without firejail? Start the game without firejail and in a different terminal run "firejail --tree". This will list all the sandboxes running with all the sandboxed processes, maybe the game is already sandboxed. What distro are you using?

Whoops, that's a wrapper script I created to make sure if there was no $APP.profile, that it would not be sandboxed.

Tested last night, and the issue still persists. I'll do some more digging after work tonight.

Note: If using a kernel greater than Linux 4.9 (LTS), DS4 controllers will not be detected by the game, even without Firejail.

I'll close it, it is something to do with the support in the kernel.
