Firecfg - Desktop integration utility for Firejail software.
firecfg [OPTIONS]
Firecfg is the desktop integration utility for Firejail sandbox.
It allows the user to sandbox applications automatically by
clicking on desktop manager icons and menus.
The integration covers:
- programs started in a terminal - typing "firefox" would
be enough to start a sandboxed Firefox browser
- programs started by clicking on desktop manager menus -
all major desktop managers are supported
- programs started by clicking on file icons in file
manager - only Cinnamon, KDE, LXDE/LXQT, MATE and XFCE
desktop managers are supported in this moment
To set it up, run "sudo firecfg" after installing Firejail
software. The same command should also be run after installing
new programs. If the program is supported by Firejail, the
symbolic link in /usr/local/bin will be created. For a full list
of programs supported by default run "cat
/etc/firejail/firecfg.config".
For user-driven manual integration, see DESKTOP INTEGRATION
section in man 1 firejail.
The following actions are implemented by default by running sudo
firecfg:
- set or update the symbolic links for desktop
integration;
- add the current user to Firejail user access database
(firecfg --add-users);
- fix desktop files in $HOME/.local/share/applications/
(firecfg --fix).
--add-users user [user]
Add the list of users to Firejail user access database.
Example:
$ sudo firecfg --add-users dustin lucas mike eleven
--bindir=directory
Create and search symbolic links in directory instead of
the default location /usr/local/bin. Directory should
precede /usr/bin and /bin in the PATH environment
variable.
--clean
Remove all firejail symbolic links.
--fix Fix .desktop files. Some .desktop files use full path to
executable. Firecfg will check .desktop files in
/usr/share/applications/, replace full path by name if it
is in PATH, and write result to
$HOME/.local/share/applications/. This action is done by
default when running "sudo firecfg". We have it as a
separate option for regular users.
--fix-sound
Create a proper ~/.config/pulse/client.conf file without
shm support. On some PulseAudio versions, shared memory
support (shm) breaks the process ID namespace. PulseAudio
software was designed a long time ago, and the
introduction of PID namespace in Linux kernel breaks their
design. This was reportedly fixed in PulseAudio version 9.
If you have sound problems on your system, run "firecfg
--fix-sound" command in a terminal, followed by
logout/login in order to apply the changes.
--guide
Guided configuration for new users.
Example:
$ sudo firecfg --guide
--debug
Print debug messages.
-?, --help
Print options end exit.
--list List all firejail symbolic links
--version
Print program version and exit.
Example:
$ sudo firecfg
/usr/local/bin/firefox created
/usr/local/bin/vlc created
[...]
$ firecfg --list
/usr/local/bin/firefox
/usr/local/bin/vlc
[...]
$ sudo firecfg --clean
/usr/local/bin/firefox removed
/usr/local/bin/vlc removed
[...]
