Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Hi, same here on Ubuntu 24.04 :

$ evolution
bwrap: Creating new namespace failed: Permission denied

** (evolution:5590): ERROR **: 20:42:11.136: Failed to fully launch dbus-proxy: Le processus fils s’est terminé avec le code 1

[Xavier Guillot (valeryan-24)]

As many programs have the "core dumped" error, this is perhaps the explanation, related to AppArmor:

Start from shell is possible:

export WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS=1
evolution

[David Jao (djao)]

As mentioned in the Mantic release notes, you can make a minimal permissive AppArmor profile just for evolution. Create a file /etc/apparmor.d/usr.bin.evolution (the filename is important) with the contents below and restart AppArmor with "systemctl restart apparmor"

abi <abi/4.0>,

include <tunables/global>

/usr/bin/evolution flags=(unconfined) {
  userns,

  # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details.
  include if exists <local/usr.bin.evolution>
}

Hi!
I'm marking this bug as a duplicate of 2046844.
AppArmor version 4.0.0~alpha4-0ubuntu1 was just uploaded to proposed and it adds a profile for evolution.
