    Sandox

    Title should read Sandbox

    If I am uncertain regarding the safety of an application, it might be best to run it in a sandbox.

    I have a link for a recommended light sandbox, and have also looked in the kubuntu repository.

    I cannot see a sandbox in our repository. Am I correct, or have I missed the programme.

    Best wishes.

      This contains a pretty decent list of ideas and tools for this, from simply using virtual box virtuakbox to things such as Docker and lxc for "containers". I think Ubuntu's Snappy may be provide this type of use as well.

        Thank you for the advice.

        I note that I have SELinux policy management library already installed, but not policycoreutils. I am surprised that both are not installed by default. I would expect both or neither.

        I have read the description regarding the latter, and it seems that this package enhances security.

        However, I am not sure how this protects users when using unfamiliar packages.

        If I install this package, I assume that I can uninstall it and the system will be as before.

        Are there any inconveniences in using this package with kubuntu, for example, having to constantly agree to conditions, etc when using the OS

        Best wishes..
