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
       [...]
