If you get this error when using codex on debian 12 bookworm, this post is for you.

I’m currently blocked from editing your repo: every shell/tool call fails with:
bwrap: Unknown option --argv0

The --argv0 parameter requires requires bubblewrap 0.9.0+, debian 12 bookworm has 0.8.0-2. To fix this issue, you can upgrade bwrap on your host.

Install some dependencies

sudo apt instal -t bookworm-backports meson
sudo apt install libcap-dev ninja-build

Get the code and build it

git clone https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap
cd bubblewrap
meson build
cd build
ninja
sudo ninja install

Confirm bwrap is installed

which bwrap
#/usr/local/bin/bwrap
bwrap --version
#bubblewrap 0.11.1

Now the problem is codex only use /usr/bin/bwrap, so you have to copy it to that path.

sudo cp /usr/bin/bwrap /usr/bin/bwrap.old
sudo cp /usr/local/bin/bwrap /usr/bin/bwrap
ldd /usr/bin/bwrap

Now restart codex, bwrap should work now. Happy coding.

Intel AX200 bluetooth and wifi suddenly not working in Linux GNOME

You can’t toggle bluetooth on/off in GNOME applets.

rfkill list show bluetooth is not blocked.

bluetoothctl list show empty bluetooth controller list.

sudo modprobe -r btusb
sudo modprobe btusb

This will unload and reload btusb module, which may be able to fix the issue.
