error running cypress open

On a fresh install of cypress through npm install cypress, and fresh install of Ubuntu, attempting to launch causes an error after the browser opens.

Another ticket - https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/842 - that was previously open mentioned that my tmp dir may be full. But, https://ipfs.io/ipfs/QmZsZxNnBXA3Qpvx1z1Q1fgWfb9J5eQajVLkgfybsuwt2X

This is also a ls -lah of my /tmp dir

I have also tried changing my tmp directory just to be safe and the issue still occurs.

• Operating System: Ubuntu
• Cypress Version: 1.0.3
• Browser Version: 62.0.3202.75

Is this a Feature or Bug?

Bug

Fails to launch

Desired behavior:

Should launch and run tests

How to reproduce:

2. node_modules/.bin/cypress open

    })
})

Duplicate of https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress/issues/842

This is a problem on your end of things - I don’t believe there’s anything to do on Cypress’ end. Would reopen if anyone can suggest if there’s anything we could do to prevent this.

i also had this same issue on ubuntu 18.04 when i ran the ./cypress open from node_modules/.bin folder

Suprisingly, it worked when i backed up to the parent directory and ran ./node_modules/.bin/cypress open
