Yes!

I found these discussions very helpful:

- https://github.com/electron/electron/issues/13972

Try the following steps, where you are going to replace the original "libnode.so" library shipped with Slack with another working version:

1. Download Electron v2.0.13

  $ wget https://github.com/electron/electron/releases/download/v2.0.13/electron-v2.0.13-linux-x64.zip

2. Extract in a temp dir:

  $ mkdir electron

  $ cd electron

  $ unzip ../electron-v2.0.13-linux-x64.zip

3. Replace the Slack's libnode.so with the Electron's one:

  $ sudo cp -v /usr/lib/slack/libnode.so /usr/lib/slack/libnode.so.orig
  $ sudo cp -v libnode.so /usr/lib/slack/libnode.so

4. Run Slack.

I hope this helps.

Marco
