Answer by Mcmil for unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally (Driver info: chromedriver=2.9

The Mike R's solution works for me. This is the full set of commands:

Xvfb :99 -ac -screen 0 1280x1024x24 &export DISPLAY=:99nice -n 10 x11vnc 2>&1 &

Later you can run google-chrome:

google-chrome --no-sandbox &

Or start google chrome via selenium driver (for example):

ng e2e --serve true --port 4200 --watch true

Protractor.conf file:

capabilities: {'browserName': 'chrome','chromeOptions': {'args': ['no-sandbox']    }},
