[Bug 1790966] Re: Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

[aM]

If it still matters to anyone, I've managed to get Crashplan's desktop
app to run, by downloading Electron 2.0.8, extracting libnode.so from
the archive, and replacing /usr/local/crashplan/electron/libnode.so with
the one from the electron 2.0.8 zip.

My system is Debian, but I imagine that this can work for Ubuntu as
well.

(This is of course not in any way supported by Code42 or anyone else)

Title:
  Electron apps segfault on glibc 2.28 (cosmic)

Status in glibc package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Electron apps (like Atom) give a segfault when trying to start them on Ubuntu Cosmic.
  Apparently this is related to a certain commit that is part of glibc 2.28.

  Could the workaround as e.g. Arch has implemented also be applied to
  Ubuntu, otherwise many pre-compiled applications will not work when
  Cosmic will be released.
