Public bug reported:
Sorry that this will be light on detail. Consider it something of a
"quick glance" at the current state of Firejail from a normal user's
POV.
I gave Firejail a try on my Kubuntu 20.10 system, by running "sudo
firecfg" and then rebooting, and mostly it was a disaster:
- Dolphin couldn't run shell scripts that contained sudo.
- Firefox wouldn't launch, then then it would, then it wouldn't again.
Looked at errors on CLI, it seemed to be network or dbus problems.
Tried making my own .local file to fix those, every single line (except
comments) got rejected for various reasons.
- VSCode launched once, then it wouldn't.
- Liferea was able to send links to Firefox (once I made Firefox non-
Firejailed), but always opened a new instance of Firefox, didn't use the
existing instance.
These are similar to some issues I've seen with some Flatpaks and Snaps.
So I concluded (fairly or not) that Firejail is not usable for me.
"sudo firecfg --clean".
