  • have you tried to update to ubuntu 16.04.3? – S.Ith Sep 26 '17 at 08:03
  • @S.Ith I haven't tried that although automatic updates is turned on and it is showing up-to-date. Are you sure updating the version to 16.04.3 solves this specific issue? Thanks. – Ashish Singh Sep 26 '17 at 08:19

    No, not sure, but I always do that to eliminate possible sources of the error, and of course if you does not need to stick with version 16.04.2. If after cleaning the cache, updating and upgrading to 16.04.3, the issue persists, some people reinstalled libnss3 and worked for them. – S.Ith Sep 26 '17 at 10:17
  • I had an older version of NSS in my PATH. That was causing a conflict. After removing the older NSS from PATH, Chrome works. – Ashish Singh Apr 02 '18 at 13:20
