I upgraded this morning, and my Selenium tests broke. I was able to reproduce this problem with the Python getting started script from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver /getting-started (altered to set the path to `/usr/lib/chromium- browser/chromedriver`):
``` virtualenv -p python3 venv . venv/bin/activate pip install selenium python script.py ``` Running `ps aux | grep chrom` in another tab shows `Z+ 15:51 0:00 [chromium-browse] <defunct>`, and eventually the script times out with `selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally`. Setting the LD_LIBRARY_PATH first fixes it: `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/chromium-browser`. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1719300 Title: chromedriver doesn't start without setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH Status in chromium-browser package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: chromium-browser won't start unless I set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib /chromium-browser. I think this is a recent change that and the problem is libffmpeg.so which is installed in /usr/lib/chromium-browser. Before, I could also launch chromium with /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser but now I get the following error message: /usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromium-browser: error while loading shared libraries: libffmpeg.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory The chromium-browser package installs a chromium-browser script in /usr/bin that sets LD_LIBRARY_PATH To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1719300/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
