[Bug]: Sunshine does not launch/load #216

Description

Describe the Bug

On a brand new fresh install, Sunshine does not load at all. No errors in the logs, no pop-up, no warnings or errors - just a silent failure. While attempting to install Sunshine from the application store (flathub), a "ldconfig error 256" is encountered.

There is no journalctl log to tail, so I can't diagnose that way.

There is nothing to share from the container logs, as no errors appear.

Steps to Reproduce

There is no journalctl log to tail, so I can't diagnose that way.

There is nothing to share from the container logs, as no errors appear.

Perform a fresh install with a full privilege nVidia setup method - though this is unlikely to be a cause and make any difference at all.

Attempt to launch Sunshine. Observe a silent failure.

Attempt to install Sunshine via the application interface. While launching it, observe the ldconfig error 256 appear on the screen.

Expected Behavior

Sunshine should launch, and any respective apparmor profiles should be baked into the system.

Relevant Settings

This issue appears due to a well-known bug that has a fix described via this askubuntu post.

However, since the init system is non-standard in the container, no shutdown, reboot, or systemctl commands can be issued, and thus the "fix" can't even be loaded long enough to test.
