firejail sylpheed doesn´t work properly

Created on 4 Jan 2020 · 7Comments · Source: netblue30/firejail

Hi altogether,

after a firejail-update to version 0.9.62 I encountered a new problem. This time with sylpheed.

firejail --private=/media/rosika/f14a27c2-0b49-4607-94ea-2e56bbf76fe1/DATEN-PARTITION/Dokumente/kgw_work3_sylpheed/ sylpheed

used to work but not anymore.
I get the following message:

Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-common.inc
Reading profile /etc/firejail/disable-devel.inc

The GUI opens up but the programme gets stuck when trying to download new e-mails. A popup window says _"cannot write file"_.

What does work however is "firejail --noprofile [...]".
So is has got something to do with sylpheed.profile.

However it is 109b1865 (noblacklist no blacklist).
Now ~/Mail is blacklisted (and a few more https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/commit/109b1865669ac1038454023762fb83cd0ebf6cca#diff-2628c1c1a167c5e64c49db36d3154ccdR417)

TL;DR: add to sylpheed.profile

noblacklist ${HOME}/Mail

Is ~/Mail your choice or program default?

@rusty-snake:
Hello again and thanks a lot for your quick help.

The addition of noblacklist ${HOME}/Mail did the trick. Sylpheed works fine again.

Is ~/Mail your choice or program default?

I didn´t change anything when setting up sylpheed. So I´d have to say: programm default.

Thank you very much again. Your help is much appreciated.

Greetings.

@Rosika2 After deliberation it would be more reasonable to re-write sylpheed.profile as a redirect profile. I've done so in https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/commit/3e66d6c8ed229552546bc4d9c93a805f40825bbf just now. Would you be so kind to test your sylpheed installation still works as expected with these changes please? This implies rebuilding firejail from git or make the implemented changes yourself temporarily. Thanks in advance!

@Rosika2 simply copy the sylpheed profile from git master, there are no big chages since 0.9.62.

@glitsj16 more semantically idiomatic would be nowhitelist /usr/share/doc/claws-mail

@rusty-snake Nice one, I'll edit the profile accordingly :+1:.

@glitsj16:

O.K., I did it this way:

simply copy the sylpheed profile from git master [...]

I can confirm that it works just fine. The new sylpheed.profile as a redirect profile seems to be a fine solution as well.
Thanks for all the work of yours.

Greetings.
