Following these directions to install nodes on a Raspberry Pi

Using the following to install chrome browser

error [1:1:1827694911:ERROR:nss_util.cc(692)] Failed to load NSS libraries.

Anyone know how to resolve this?

Did you test is using chromium --kiosk http://www.google.com/ like it tells you in the tutorial? — Dom, Nov 27 '13 at 16:58
according to this site github.com/SamyPesse/tv.js/issues/19 you can Fix the NSS Libraries issue by symlinking /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/nss/ too /usr/lib/nss — Steve Robillard, Nov 27 '13 at 17:43

The symlinking worked for me and for my RPi, as in this worked:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/nss/ /usr/lib/nss

You do know that you can mark a self-answer as the answer to the problem? Please mark this as such, we are trying to get the site Q:A ratio up and that would help us a lot! Thanks! – RPiAwesomeness Mar 23 '14 at 17:07

try:

sudo apt-get purge chromium-browser
sudo apt-add-repository ppa:chromium-daily/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

if that doesn’t work, try Steve's solution by symlinking /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/nss/ to /usr/lib/nss:

sudo ln -s /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/nss/ /usr/lib/nss
