I've installed the latest version of google-chrome-stable (Google Chrome 61.0.3163.79), and I've tried to open in terminal using this command:
google-chrome
This error occurs:
[17942:17977:0907/162258.727461:FATAL:nss_util.cc(632)] NSS_VersionCheck("3.26") failed. NSS >= 3.26 is required. Please upgrade to the latest NSS, and if you still get this error, contact your distribution maintainer.
Aborted
OS: Linux Mint 17.3
Open Terminal.
Then Type:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libnss3
It might ask for dependencies, check them carefully and confirm if ok.
This should update NSS to the latest version.
You can now open Google Chrome for Linux and see if it works.
If not try running it from terminal and see if it gives any error messages for future investigations
To run Google Chrome in terminal, type the following:
google-chrome
I had the same issue on Ubuntu 16.04 but found that apt wouldn't upgrade to the latest version of `libnss3 by default.
I had to do the following:
Open 'Software Updater', then click on 'settings' button
Tick the 'important Security Updates (xenial-security) then close. it will update the cache
Open terminal and then run the command sudo apt-get install libnss3
Should then work
THIS sequence of tasks as cited above solved my Chrome problems on linux mint 18.1 Serena
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libnss3
Then Chrome ran OK as installed, but only as user, not as root.
I had the same problem on Ubuntu 16.04 with installed libnss3:amd64 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.16.04.3
Check path ~/.local/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/
If the catalog contain:
libnss3.so libnssutil3.so libsmime3.so libssl3.so nss
Remove the files
