I ran into a similar issue when upgrading Kubuntu from 12.04 to 14.04. I found the following AskUbuntu post helpful; Google Chrome on Ubuntu 14.04 Desktop Can't Running, Error initializing NSS with a persistent database

In short, run the following commands. 

sudo apt-get install libnss3-nssdb
sudo apt install libnss3=2:3.15.4-1ubuntu7

In addition, I had to run the following command after getting errors that I was running an older version of Chromium than my profile was created for (most likely referring the the version of libnss3). You may have to restore bookmarks and other settings after running this command.

mv ~/.config/chromium/ chromium_bkup-nss-issue
