without Headless (`Display`), is it working? have you kept your chromedriver in the searchable path? — Naveen Kumar R B, Dec 13 '16 at 08:56
on my desktop it works. I am trying to run it on a linux vm which does not have a desktop. I basically followed the instruction https://christopher.su/2015/selenium-chromedriver-ubuntu/ — kumar, Dec 13 '16 at 10:56
what is the bit version of VM, Ubuntu? 32 or 64? check `Footnotes` in the link you shared. You can find all the ChromeDriver releases here. If you’re using a 32-bit system or a non-Linux OS, the ChromeDriver download used above won’t work. — Naveen Kumar R B, Dec 13 '16 at 11:02
