unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Driver info: chromedriver=2.9

I am trying to run Selenium tests on Debian 7 but without success.

The error is:

unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally   (Driver info: chromedriver=2.9.248316,platform=Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae x86) (WARNING: The server did not provide any stacktrace information) Command duration or timeout: 60.55 seconds Build info: version: '2.33.0', revision: '4ecaf82108b2a6cc6f006aae81961236eba93358', time: '2013-05-22 12:00:17' System info: os.name: 'Linux', os.arch: 'i386', os.version: '3.2.0-4-686-pae', java.version: '1.7.0_25' Driver info: org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver

I have chromedriver 29 with chrome 34.0.1847.76 beta running on Debian 7 32 bits. I am using selenium-java 2.33.0

Following this link, chromedriver 29 is the right version for chrome 34. And anyway, previous versions do not work on Debian 7 because of glibc version …

----------ChromeDriver v2.9 (2014-01-31)----------Supports Chrome v31-34

[update 1]

I tried with with both java 7 and java 6, still the same problem. May be I should try with java 8 ^^

[update 2]

I am using this command to test the chrome driver, to make sure that is not an issue with jenkins:

curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json; charset=utf-8" -d "{\"desiredCapabilities\":{\"platform\":\"ANY\",\"browserName\":\"chrome\",\"chromeOptions\":{\"args\":[],\"extensions\":[]},\"version\":\"\",\"chrome.switches\":[]}}" localhost:12495/session

I am getting the same error message:

{"sessionId":"210f3f837a798ee68cd91f089976d0c2","status":13,"value":{"message":"unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally\n  (Driver info: chromedriver=2.9.248316,platform=Linux 3.2.0-4-686-pae x86)"}}

Any help to know what is going on would be appreciated.

Thanks
