FIRECFG(1)

NAME
Firecfg - Desktop integration utility for Firejail software.

SYNOPSIS
firecfg [OPTIONS]

DESCRIPTION
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 /usr/lib/firejail/firecfg.config". For user-driven manual integration, see DESKTOP INTEGRATION section in man 1 firejail.

OPTIONS

--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.

--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
[...]
