Sometimes an update breaks something, and I have to experiment with the profile settings, for which it helps to launch a bash with the same jail and start steam on the command line inside the jail to see output messages.
What happens most of the time is that a steam update depends on a newer system library that I didn’t yet install and I then have to do a system update - steam is shit at managing OS dependencies (i.e.: it doesn’t)
yes, and I know it’s less than perfect, but it’s better than nothing :)
Makes sense… I was curious what your solution was… Sounds like I should invest some time into that … Thanks.
On debian testing (trixie):

#!/bin/sh firejail --private=/home/user/steamjail --profile=/etc/firejail/steam.profile ~/steam $1Sometimes an update breaks something, and I have to experiment with the profile settings, for which it helps to launch a bash with the same jail and start steam on the command line inside the jail to see output messages.
