certutil: could not authenticate to token NSS Certificate DB.: SEC_ERROR_IO: An I/O error occurred during security authorization.
I tried looking an old issue #12, but it doesn't seem to help
Commands I have executed:
sudo chmod u+x ./mkcert,
and tried this also later
sudo chmod 0777 ./mkcert,
then
sudo ./mkcert -install
I have libnss3-tools version 2:3.28.4-0ubuntu0.16.04.5 installed which seems the latest for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
Using the local CA at "/home/user/.local/share/mkcert" ✨
ERROR: failed to execute "certutil -A": exit status 255
certutil: could not authenticate to token NSS Certificate DB.: SEC_ERROR_IO: An I/O error occurred during security authorization.

Side note: the i/o error happens because of the missing NSS db files, either wrong alias directory with -d, or need a certutil -N -d
to create them.
Have you started Firefox and/or Chrome and loaded a webpage? I needed to do that on a fresh linux machine with certutil before.

Ya Chrome and Firefox both are loading web pages without an issue, and the Ubuntu installation is old also. And as long as I have gathered certutil -A automatically creates a database if needed, still not sure about the source of this error.
