Half unrelated, but thought I'd mention it here (vs a new thread).
Was having issues with Firefox working with Netflix (Specifically that
widevine thing).
Eventually came across a thread where someone mentioned
CONFIG_SECCOMP=y has to be enabled in the kernel for it to work.
Tested it, and apparently that was the missing piece. Might be worth
adding as an additional note.
I'm not sure whether this belongs in the kernel config in the book,
or in the wiki ? Not something I use. But then I don't use the
geolocation APIs but we have those.
I see that ALL my current machines have CONFIG_SECCOMP=y in their
kernel configs, as if it either defaulted to y or else sounded like
a good idea.

I don't know the full scope of what it is suppose to do, best I can
figure is it has something to do with piping untrusted bytecode
somewhere. (Something to do with how widevine does it's DRM?).
Sounds like ElasticSearch can use it as well.
anyway, just calling attention to it, as I spent a year trying to get
netflix working without success.
Let's try to take a straw poll:
Do people have CONFIG_SECCOMP=y set anyway in the (desktop, laptop)
kernels they are using ? To avoid noise on the list, please reply
to me directly.
The initial tally is:
No 1 (Nathan)
Yes 1 (me)
Explanation about seccomp: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seccomp
Note that it seems openssh, qemu, chrome, firefox, ... use seccomp.
Also, the kernel menuconfig "help" for this option says:
"If unsure, say Y. Only embedded should say N here"
