"One can also achieve approximately the same effect by installing hexedit and running
hexedit /usr/lib/chromium/chromium <TAB> (to move to the ASCII column) / /usr/lib/nss (to find that path mentioned there) X a few times (to corrupt it) <control + X> (to save and exit)" I replaced the entire path (/usr/lib/nss/libsoftokn3.so) with 'X'es and am still getting these annoying messages on startup and every time I open a new tab and go to a website. I don't know if another portion of the code is trying to load this library or what, but it is worthless to me and spams the heck out of '.xsession-errors'. Why is the code referencing '/usr/lib/nss'? The directory does not exist on Debian: /usr/lib/chromium$ dlocate /usr/lib/nss /usr/lib/chromium$ dpkg -S /usr/lib/nss /usr/lib/chromium$ dpkg-query: no path found matching pattern /usr/lib/nss.
