Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/1268

Here are some:

Failed to open file “/home/biohazard/.gimp-2.8/devicerc”: open() failed: Permissão negada

Failed to open file “/home/biohazard/.gimp-2.8/controllerrc”: open() failed: Permissão negada

Impossível abrir um ficheiro swap de teste.

Para evitar a perda de dados, verifique a localização e permissões da pasta de swap definida nas suas Preferências (atualmente "/home/ekari/.gimp-2.8").

As mensagens são redirecionadas para stderr.

Can you please run

mkdir ~/.config/firejail
cp /etc/firejail/gimp.profile ~/.config/firejail

and then in ~/.config/firejail/gimp.profile you comment out ipc-namespace, in case there is something like this in the profile?

EDIT: Sorry, I see a bug in GIMP related to this line, but it probably has nothing to do with your issue. What you could quickly check however is folder and file ownerships inside ~/.gimp-2.8. I ask because one way to get to this error is by running sudo gimp in an unfortunate moment.

You might be running into this problem: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gimp/+bug/1246908

I would delete ~/.gimp-2.8 directory and start all over again - unless you have some plugins you installed in that directory.

Alternatively, to figure out how is the link with Firejail, you could try to run from the command line simply /usr/bin/gimp, and if that works ok try firejail --noprofile gimp and then firejail gimp

@SYN-cook I followed your commands by order after deleting .gimp and no errors where shown.
@netblue30 Maybe that is the bug, I'm using ubuntu 17.04 but I saw the directory and it was not owned by root

Thanks. But you are still running into this issue when launching from a menu? One reason could be that Firejail picks the wrong profile. What you could try

mkdir ~/.config/firejail
cp /etc/firejail/gimp.profile ~/.config/firejail/gimp-2.8.profile

@SYN-cook is right, it will pick up /etc/firejail/default.profile - this one disables ~/.config/gimp* directories. I put a fix in mainline. Thanks for the bug.
