Firejail 0.9.50 problems [SOLVED]

[kermit_t_frog]

Hi All

I'm running Mint 18.1 XFCE 64-bit, last night I upgraded to the latest version of firejail. This morning, I turn the notebook on, enter login details and just get a blank screen. Give it half an hour, no change, go over to the console

Code: Select all

ps aux|grep firejail
scott     1447  0.0  0.1  16308  2528 ?        S    17:47   0:00 /usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/ssh-agent -s
scott     1448  0.0  0.1  16436  2000 ?        S    17:47   0:00 /usr/bin/firejail /usr/bin/ssh-agent -s

then

killall firejail

and it loads xfce!

I completely uninstall 0.9.50 in Synaptic, and reinstall 0.9.44.8 which now gives the same result - nothing works until I killall firejail - so I'm now running without it for the moment


Problems with VirtualBox 5.1.28:

Running Mint 18.1 MATE 64-bit

It also looks like the new version is preventing me from accessing iso's in Virtualbox that I keep in ~/Downloads/iso directory on the desktop - working fine 5 minutes before installing the new firejail. VB is now giving the error "One or more disk image files are not currently accessible"

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot

Hi All

It seems there is a problem with Firejail 0.9.50 and XFCE. Author recommends deleting the symlink (ssh-agent) in /usr/local/bin for the moment:

This version also seemed to give me problems with VirtualBox 5.1.28 and Claws 3.13.2 (repo version). The following fixed my problems:

sudo firecfg --clean # Removes all firejail symlinks

Then reinstalled 0.9.44.8 as per xenopeeks instructions here:
