Chrome used to work on headless centos 7 but now seems to fail to start. Spits out "Illegal instruction" as the only output. Happens for both minimal centos 7 virtualbox and the https://hub.docker.com/_/centos/ docker image. Is there a workaround or something I can do to get this setup to work?
Steps to reproduce: create a minimal centos 7 virtualbox from here http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1611.iso create a non-root user, I named mine "st_user"
as root do:
%>yum install -y epel-release
%>yum install -y xorg-x11-server-Xvfb
%>cat << EOF > /etc/yum.repos.d/google-chrome.repo

Illegal instruction
No combination of parameters, like --no-sandbox, --disable-gpu, or --user-data improves the situation.
My question is how do I get chrome to work in a minimal centos 7 with Xvfb. Is there a workaround or something else I can do?
