gdk applications no longer work under firejail Anonymous 09/25/2025 (Thu) 01:16:30 No. 24281

gdk applications use a package called gdk-pixbuf2, which uses a Rust library, glycin, to open image files. glycin opens image files in a sandbox using bwrap. bwrap doesn't run inside firejail. So now all gdk applications fail when they try to open image files inside of firejail.

Fix for me is rolling gdk-pixbuf2 back to version 2.44.1-3.

wget https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gdk-pixbuf2/gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst https://archive.archlinux.org/packages/g/gdk-pixbuf2/gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.sig
sudo pacman -U gdk-pixbuf2-2.44.1-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst
