[SOLVED] firejail fails with "X Error of failed request"

After the last software upgrade firejail doesn't work with some program though that program runs fine outside of firejail. "--noprofile" doesn't help:

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

** Note: you can use --noprofile to disable default.profile **

The upgrade was (XFCE, NVidia proprietary drivers):

Re: [SOLVED] firejail fails with "X Error of failed request"

You got a new nvidia driver version, did you reboot yet? nvidia's kernel driver and userspace versions need to match, you are still on the "old" kernel module if you haven't rebooted yet, and you won't be able to access GL contexts of the new version with the old kernel driver.

Yes, I rebooted a few times.

Re: [SOLVED] firejail fails with "X Error of failed request"

I have the same issue running steam in firejail. Running outside firejail works fine.

Re: [SOLVED] firejail fails with "X Error of failed request"

There is the firejail issue: https://github.com/netblue30/firejail/issues/6372

Adding "noblacklist /sys/module" to the profile can fix it.

Re: [SOLVED] firejail fails with "X Error of failed request"

The more restrictive fix is to add noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia/initstate.

Re: [SOLVED] firejail fails with "X Error of failed request"

For some reason the more restrictive fixes don't work for me. I tried

noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia/initstate
noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia_drm/initstate
noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia_uvm/initstate
noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia_modeset/initstate

and even

noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia
noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia_drm
noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia_uvm
noblacklist /sys/module/nvidia_modeset

but it gives the same error. "firejail --trace" says:

I wonder why there's

19:nvidia-modprobe:access /sys/module/nvidia/initstate:-1

Does that mean access denied? But didn't I allow access to "/sys/module/nvidia/initstate"?

I don't have NVIDIA hardware to properly test this myself. You could ask the person on the firejail issue thread about this though.

Based on the blender profile you might try:

noblacklist /sys/module
whitelist /sys/module/nvidia*
read-only /sys/module/nvidia*

Great! I'll add this to the firejail issue and propose a fix before the upcoming 0.9.74 comes out. Thanks for confirming.
