I'm in puppy linux (Tahr), installed Discord and tried to run it with

sudo discord

First the problem was that i didn't have the libnss3.so library. Installed it.

Then I needed the libnssutil3.so library, installed it too. Now when I run:

sudo discord

I get:

/usr/share/discord/Discord: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnssutil3.so undefined symbol: PR_GetEnvSecure

So, since you're using puppy linux (which run everything as root by default, though it does have a user set up named spot in latest version, mainly for the application which require non-root permissions), you do not need sudo:

discord

Should suffice. Secondly, the error you saw:

/usr/share/discord/Discord: symbol lookup error: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libnssutil3.so undefined symbol: PR_GetEnvSecure

Happen because of a difference of version, between your local libnssutil3.so library, and the one that discord require...

You probably have 3 possible fix for this:

  • Try the other possible ways to install discord (there a appimage if i recall right, some other format/repository like snap, etc).
  • Use it in the browser ( I mean, it has more chance of working there, and you usually don't need to install anything else, unless you find it work better in chromium-based browser instead).
  • Go ask on the now official puppy linux forum. They're probably more used/apt to answer this than here :)

  • Yeah, Discord work without problems in browser but there's others portable apps that don't have a browser version and give me the same error. I'm using the browser version of Discord until find the version of libnssutil3.so required. – Lautaro Lipera Mar 25 '21 at 20:15
  • Then may i suggest the other things i mentioned in my answer? :) Maybe try the one in the snap repo, or ask on the official forum i mentioned. Also, an another advice would be to try the latest puppy (fossa) where I'm sure you'd have more luck in making this work (using just the `deb` package) @LautaroLipera – Nordine Lotfi Mar 25 '21 at 20:19
