Why are you running with sudo?

No, I wasn't... That was one try between many many others, I just copied from the terminal the one with 'sudo...' by mistake and I didn't find the edit button for the report. I guess you can see from the image, the problem is the same, with sudo doesn't print "Aborted (core dumped)" but I think that's irrelevant. Thanks for the reply

It sounds like your distro has built NSS strangely/incorrectly. This may be an issue with your .pki/nssdb configuration (perhaps you or your enterprise admin recently changed this) or with your distro. What version of libnss3 are you running? Does NSS's certutil (shipped as part of libnss3 or libnss3-util) work? See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/Projects/NSS/tools/NSS_Tools_certutil for documentation, but something like certutil -L -d sql:$HOME/.pki/nssdb should work, or should show the same error.

Thanks for the reply, I had to install libnss3-tools (sudo apt-get install libnss3-tools), and I ran the commando you gave me, certutil -L -d sql:/home/miguel/.pki/nssdb . The error showed: certutil: function failed: PR_LOAD_LIBRARY_ERROR: Failure to load dynamic library libsoftokn3.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory Maybe I have to re-installed? Can you give me some pointers for how to do that. Or is there another solution? Thanks very much

I'm not sure, but at least that confirms the issue is in some way related to NSS/your distro, and not Chromium. Unfortunately, I don't have a good answer for NSS debugging. I'm marking this WontFix, as it's an issue with your system installation. |
