Solved brave does not work /dev/shm/ can not mount in jail

JamesL · Apr 27, 2024

awesome, I might try that later on. Right now I just have to figure out how to get brave or chrome working in void Linux jail. I got chromium and drm working from one of your post weeks ago. If I could get brave or chrome to work in jail that would be perfect. I got white screen appears for a few seconds then forced quit.
Thanks again and have a good weekend.

i had similar problems trying to run google chrome in a ubuntu jail

it maybe be you need to start chrome with some chrome flags
this is what i use to start chrome as wayland application on freebsd

Code:

chrome --ozone-platform=wayland

the arch wiki has a few tips

Chromium - ArchWiki

wiki.archlinux.org

not the chromium-flags.conf config file only works on arch

brilliant, glad you got it working

you can also record the audio from the jail
by using ffmpeg or sox or audacity on freebsd

Thanks, my discrete nvidia video card on my laptop is too old and is not support by freebsd anymore. I can only run integrated intel GPU. I am running x11 and use these flag to run chrome with no success

Code:

"$HERE/chrome" --in-process-gpu --no-sandbox --no-zygote --test-type --enable-features=UseOzonePlatform --ozone-platform=x11 --v=0 "$@" || true

Hooray!! I setup a ubuntu jail and chrome works.

JamesL · Apr 28, 2024

After I enabled the audio and restart the jail chrome does not work any more

the other thing to check is if the user in the jail has the same uid and gid
as the user on the freebsd host

so that the user in the jail has access to the pulseaudio socket in the /tmp directory

if you check the id of your user on the freebsd host and the user in the jail do they match

Code:

id

Code:

uid=1001(djwilcox) gid=1001(djwilcox) groups=1001(djwilcox),0(wheel),5(operator),44(video),47(realtime)

my user in the jail has the same username djwilcox, uid 1001 and gid 1001 as on the freehost
that way there are no permission issues

i edited the /etc/passwd and /etc/groups files in the jail and added the settings from freebsd for my user

ls /tmp directory

Code:

Yes Master ? ls -l /tmp total 4 drwx------ 2 djwilcox wheel 2 27 Apr 12:57 babel-Puf8y5 drwxr-xr-x 2 djwilcox wheel 2 27 Apr 12:57 babel-stable-681 srwxrwxrwx 1 djwilcox wheel 0 27 Apr 12:57 dbus-pkgAV4CuHc -rw-r--r-- 1 djwilcox wheel 111 27 Apr 20:18 emacs100199273-pollux~ srwxr-xr-x 1 djwilcox wheel 0 27 Apr 18:34 mpv-R2wYIa srwxrwxrwx 1 djwilcox wheel 0 27 Apr 20:22 pulseaudio.socket drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 3 27 Apr 12:56 sndio drwx------ 2 djwilcox wheel 3 27 Apr 12:57 tmux-1001

Thanks, These steps are crucial to make pulseaudio work. I changed user id and group id of linux jail to match the ones in freebsd. Then I just have to pactl info in my freebsd few times to get audio socket in the /tmp/. Then audio from jail works.
Thanks for the tips, otherwise I could not figure this out by myself.

so you have to disable hardware acceleration with --disable-gpu
thats a pain, would be nice to have that enabled

ill try and see if i can get chrome working with those flags

i did look at other ways to install chrome apt from using a deb

snaps - uses systemd so wont work
flatpak - doesnt work
nixpkg - doesnt download files

matching the users gid and uid is the secret sauce to get everything working between the jail and the host

you can also mount a directory from the host to the jail

edit your

Code:

/etc/sysctl.conf

and allow your user to mount without sudo

Code:

vfs.usermount=1

i create video directory in the jails home

Code:

mkdir -p "${HOME}/video"

and create an entry in the freebsd fstab to mount the video directory from the host to the jail
the noauto option is needed so it doesnt try and mount when you boot freebsd

freebsd fstab

Code:

/home/djwilcox/video  /usr/local/jails/linux/ubuntu/home/djwilcox/video     nullfs          rw,noauto                      0       0

mounting the video directory from the host to the jail

Code:

mount /usr/local/jails/linux/ubuntu/home/djwilcox/video

umount

Code:

umount /usr/local/jails/linux/ubuntu/home/djwilcox/video

hi mate, those settings need to be added to your

Code:

~/.zshenv

on both the freebsd host and the jail

then source the ~/.zshenv file

Code:

source ~/.zshenv

check the xdg directories are set with printenv

Code:

printenv

Code:

XDG_CACHE_HOME=/home/djwilcox/.cache XDG_CONFIG_HOME=/home/djwilcox/.config XDG_DATA_HOME=/home/djwilcox/.local/share XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/var/run/user/1001

# xdg directories
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME="$HOME/.config"
export XDG_CACHE_HOME="$HOME/.cache"
export XDG_DATA_HOME="$HOME/.local/share"
export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/var/run/user/`id -u`"

For Linux jail, export XDG_RUNTIME_DIR="/run/user/`id -u`" Is this "/run/user/`id -u`" most Linux uses?

I found out /var/run/ is a symbolic link to /run/

Code:

james@ubuntu:~$ ls -lah /run
total 20K
drwxr-xr-x  5 root root 512 Apr 27 23:50 .
drwxr-xr-x 17 root root 512 Apr 27 22:40 ..

Great!! That is neat. Glad you got chrome working.

If you want to try void Linux. Void Linux does not have brave or any chrome browser in their repository. You could try to use their glibc rootfs.
You could download deb and use this https://github.com/xdeb-org/xdeb-install?tab=readme-ov-file xdeb tools to install brave or chrome.

chrome doesnt seem close cleanly
i could see lots of threads being used in the jails top command after i quit chrome

i was going to take a look at voidlinux but i dont think it has support for the official nvidia drivers
and you have to use the noveau driver

on ubuntu i can install the official nvidia drivers so they match the same version as on the freebsd host
that way when i run nvidia-smi in the jail it can acess the hosts gpu

im not sure i can install a noveau version of the nvidia driver on voidlinux
that would match the version on the host

Driver Version: 550.54.14

NVIDIA drivers for linux - Libraries and Utilities

i could only see the nvidia driver version 550.78 on the void site

the version i need is 550.54.14
i dont think you can run the nvidia driver installer on void linux

I do not have void Linux jail anymore otherwise I might try it for you. I do not have enough hard drive space left to run multiple jails. But I could try to run the installer on bare metal if you could point me the link to download the nvidia installation files.

I will test it for you on bare metal.

I just ran the installer for my nvidia driver It complaints about that I do not have kernel source file. Installation failed with no x86/entry/syscalls/makefile

hi mate, cheers for having a look

i thought there was an issue with the official nvidia drivers on voidlinux

i did try installing the nvidia drivers on debian
but it gave an error saying they were incompatible with the debian repos or something

i also tried to install arch linux in a jail which was a nightmare
just kept giving me error message about not being able to import gpg keys

That sucks. The nvidia installer I tried was for my 18 years old GeForce go 7400 GPU.
The driver is released in 2017, it is deprecated and does not support new xorg anymore.

I did not try new one as I do not have new nvidia card.

sounds like your gpu is old enough to go to the pub now

Solved brave does not work /dev/shm/ can not mount in jail
