Description

Brackets cannot run on Debian 8 after updating the master branch to latest code on brackets repository.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Pull the latest code on brackets repository
2. Checked out to jasonsanjose/cef_2171_linux branch in brackets-shell repository. Updated the control file to use libcrypt20 in installer/linux/control
3. Run 'grunt build' in brackets repository and 'grunt installer' in brackets-shell repository. Install the brackets .deb file from installer/linux folder.
4. Run brackets using command 'brackets' on command line.

Expected behavior: Brackets should successfully open and run.

Actual behavior: Brackets screen opens and suddenly closes and "Segmentation fault" prints on the screen.
Output of running brackets from command line :
prateek@prateek-debian:~/work/open-source/brackets-shell/installer/linux$ brackets
[0618/235112:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(163)] Running without the SUID sandbox! See https://code.google.com/p/chromium/wiki/LinuxSUIDSandboxDevelopment for more information on developing with the sandbox on.
ATTENTION: default value of option force_s3tc_enable overridden by environment.

[0618/235112:ERROR:nss_util.cc(819)] After loading Root Certs, loaded==false: NSS error code: -8018
Segmentation fault

Output of dmesg afterwards :

Versions

Please include the OS and what version of the OS you're running. : Debian 8
Please include the version of Brackets. You can find it under Help -> About Brackets (Windows and Linux) or Brackets -> About Brackets (macOS) : 1.10.0-17439 is the version printed while installing brackets

One more thing, do you have any plans to include libgcrypt20 (as mentioned in 10255 )? Any other separate stable build for debian 8 ?

Regards,
Prateek Sharma

@pratts jasonsanjose/cef_2171_linux branch is not a stable one, there are some issues with it, I would suggest you to use linux-1547 branch(now it supports native menus also), we are currently working on upgrading CEF version in Linux also, and we will remove the dependency of libcrypt11 in that upgrade.
If latest cef vesion has libgcrypt20 dependency then we will include it also.
