Fails to run, libXss.so.1 missing on Fedora 25

See original GitHub issue
  • Etcher version: 1.0.0 Beta 16
  • Operating system and architecture: Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-20161105.n.0.iso
  • Do you see any meaningful error information on DevTools?

Fails to run with:

error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: 
cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

As a workaround, sudo yum install libXScrnSaver solves this.

I think I found a solution.

$ sudo dnf install libXScrnSaver-devel

Fedora reports libXScrnSaver as installed, but searching the repos I found libXScrnSaver-devel, and installing it worked, but curiously it also installed a dependency: libXScrnSaver itself!

So we would include the dummy library in the package itself? I’m happy to give this a go today. I do wonder if we should approach the Electron guys, and see if we can fix this by not making Electron depend on it if its really not being used.
