[solved] Evolution, bwrap and unprivileged user namespace

Hi,

Setting kernel.unprivileged_userns_clone sysctl to 0 as suggested in Security#Sandboxing_applications breaks Evolution on my system (does not start).

While trying to troubleshoot, I've found that Evolution uses bwrap on my system, which causes the breakage.

$ evolution
bwrap: No permissions to creating new namespace, likely because the kernel does not allow non-privileged user namespaces.

Is that the correct default or did I mangle something ?

Thanks !

What if you replace bubblewrap with bubblewrap-suid?
