Ran 1 test in 5.193s
FAILED (errors=1)
the script works fine on my local machine...and I think this is related to the desktop settings for XFCE.
I connect to the instance via vnc and can get the full XFCE desktop with no issues.
Any hints?
SOLVED:
I downgraded selenium 2.36 to 2.35 and the tests runs OK.
