Non-headless Chrome will not launch

Chrome will not launch when headless:false. Not specifying the headless property (i.e. default of headless:true) works.

Steps to reproduce

Tell us about your environment:

• Puppeteer version: 0.12.0
• Platform / OS version: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
• URLs (if applicable): N/A
• Node.js version: v8.9.0

What steps will reproduce the problem?

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

What is the expected result?

Chrome launches and opens a new page.

What happens instead?

After first attempt to launch Chrome:

(node:18427) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 1): Error: kill ESRCH
(node:18427) [DEP0018] DeprecationWarning: Unhandled promise rejections are deprecated. In the future, promise rejections that are not handled will terminate the Node.js process with a non-zero exit code.

After second attempt to launch Chrome:

(node:18427) UnhandledPromiseRejectionWarning: Unhandled promise rejection (rejection id: 2): Error: Failed to launch chrome!
