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

[Kidd Supreme]

@Naegling23 So I'm running Fedora 29 myself. And just like you, it at
first worked, then just stayed there trying to login. Any subsequent
attempt to start the program crashed like before. Until I did the
following:

sudo chmod 444 libnode.so

Basically, I made the file read-only. At that point, I started the
CrashPlanDesktop (after copying a "new" copy of libnode.so) and it
worked. Please let me know if this works for you as well.

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.
