Failed to launch chrome

See original GitHub issue

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

Puppeteer version: 0.10.1
Platform / OS version: Ubutntu 16.04 running on AWS EC2
URLs (if applicable):

What steps will reproduce the problem? Try the demo code to launch puppeteer in ubuntu 16.04 EC2 amazon AWS.

Code used:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
    headless: true,
    args: ['--no-sandbox', '--disable-setuid-sandbox'],
  });

What is the expected result?

It is able to start in my local. When I deployed in my EC2 I am getting this error. Couldn’t find a past issue related to this.

What happens instead? It throws error

It looks like you are missing some Debian dependencies: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/puppeteer/blob/master/docs/troubleshooting.md

Im using puppeteer nugetpackage 1.9.0. I also had the same issue that browser couldn’t launch in my linux container. I added this line in my dockerfile and it fixed the problem for me:

apt-get install -y wget unzip fontconfig locales gconf-service libasound2 libatk1.0-0 libc6 libcairo2 libcups2 libdbus-1-3 libexpat1 libfontconfig1 libgcc1 libgconf-2-4 libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 libglib2.0-0 libgtk-3-0 libnspr4 libpango-1.0-0 libpangocairo-1.0-0 libstdc++6 libx11-6 libx11-xcb1 libxcb1 libxcomposite1 libxcursor1 libxdamage1 libxext6 libxfixes3 libxi6 libxrandr2 libxrender1 libxss1 libxtst6 ca-certificates fonts-liberation libappindicator1 libnss3 lsb-release xdg-utils wget
