Comment 8 for bug 1574403

Hello,

Thanks for fixing the folder sharing issue. Works great now.

I was wondering if you were aware of another problem, I am using Ubuntu
12.04

I work online for a Company called: Upwork.com
They have a time tracking software app that you run on your computer to
keep track of your work time.
It takes a screen shot of your computer at random times to make sure you
are working for the client while time is being tracked.

About 2 months ago there was an update to libnss3. After that update
their software no longer works. I have contacted them many times and
they don't seem to be getting anywhere on the fix. They are telling us
to do a work around. I have tried to do this, but it seems to just want
to reload the latest libnss3 and it still never works.

I have a laptop running ubuntu mate and it works on there, but only
because I install ubuntu mate and didn't do any updates after the
initial installation. Guess I still have the older version of libnss3,
because I didn't do an update.

Are you able to check into this or know what steps need to be taken to
get this issue fixed?

Below is what they are suggesting.

Thanks,

Unable to Load Upwork App
Linux libnss3 Library Incompatibility, SSL Error 12218

If you are experiencing a problem logging in or getting stuck in caching
mode on Linux, the problem could be an incompatibility of the app with
your libnss3 library. We are aware of the issue and our engineering team
is working to devise a solution. However, since that will take time, we
want to share a workaround that may provide a solution for you.

Please check if you have a libnss3 library version greater than 3.19.x.
The issue is in the Chromium embedded framework we use, so for the time
being, we cannot resolve the incompatibility ourselves. You'll need to
downgrade this library to it's previous version 3.19.x to be able to use
app.

The following workaround will download the previous version of the
libnss3 library (3.19.1). To do this, please follow the steps below:

     Exit and close Upwork Team App (Time Tracker and Messages).
     Determine which version of Ubuntu Linux you use, 64-bit or 32-bit.
If you aren’t certain, click here to learn more.
     If you use the 64-bit Ubuntu version, click here​ to download the
correct file.
     If you use the 32-bit version, click here to download the correct
file.
     Save the file to disk.
     Open with the file-roller (archive manager), and extract the
x86_64-linux-gnu directory (for 64-bit) or i386-lunux-gnu (for 32-bit)
as shown on the screenshot here. You can create a directory "lib" in
your home directory and extract the directory to there.
     Start a terminal, and type one of these two sets of commands:
     For 64-bit:

      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu​​:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      nohup upwork &

     For 32-bit:

      export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=~/lib/i386-linux-gnu​​:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
      nohup upwork &

     Upwork Time Tracker and Messages should now work.

Going forward, please repeat Step 6 whenever you need to start the
Upwork Team App.

Please note ​if you want to run Upwork from the menu, not from the
terminal, and do not want to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH every time, you
will need to override the variable. To learn more, see the “persistent
environmental variables” section here.

Install on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS or 16.04 LTS

If application installation using graphical install tools fails, please
try running install from the command line.

On 64 bit:

  $ sudo dpkg -i upwork_amd64.deb
  $ sudo sudo apt-get -f install

On 32 bit:

  $ sudo dpkg -i upwork_i386.deb
  $ sudo sudo apt-get -f install
