Does not run on Ubuntu 14.04

This can be worked around by patching jitsi-meet:

sed -i -e 's|3.26|3.00|g' jitsi-meet

It then launches. Also seems to work without issues.

Please try this.
sudo apt-get install libnss3

I can confirm that this works. Thank you very much 👍

By the way, I have been waiting for an app like this for Linux for a very long time since every time I wanted to start a quick web conference, I had to fiddle around with browser versions, plugins, stuff not working. This: Download, set executable, launch, works. Awesome! 🥇

Also added it to the AppImageHub central directory of available AppImages. https://appimage.github.io/jitsi-meet/

Glad to help. 😄

@probonopd Thank you for doing that!

Same on Ubuntu 16.04. It's really annoying to have to run an apt-get command on a freshly booted Live ISO just to run an AppImage. Workaround works:

./jitsi-meet-x86_64.AppImage --appimage-extract
sed -i -e 's|3.26|3.00|g' squashfs-root/jitsi-meet
./appimagetool-x86_64.AppImage squashfs-root/

@probonopd
Thanks for reporting this and solution too.

But I don't think we should bypass this check. This error is thrown by chrome and the error says Please upgrade to the latest NSS.
IMHO, the user should install the latest NSS.

Agreed with @akshitkrnagpal. While a bit annoying, I think we should fix it with documentation. I'm working on a new README and I'll incorporate this.

[saghul]

The README mentions this now, so I'm going to close this.

The idea behind AppImage is that you just need to get one file and can run the application without needing to change anything in the underlying operating system. Since the workaround above seems to work, why not apply it?
