Error:Could not create new page when used with ubuntu 16.04 headless mode

[anandanand84]

I was able to list the session, but could not create new page and it happens only on ubuntu 16.04 headless mode, works fine in os x. But I can list the pages using list command. Is the error message coming from chrome or chrome-remote-interface?

$ chrome-remote-interface new https://google.com
Error: Could not create new page
$ chrome-remote-interface list

Possibly a duplicate of #96?

yes I think so, but I was using chrome 59 beta channel and still the issue seems to exist. I will wait till stable comes out.

FYI with Debian 9 it works:

$ google-chrome-beta --version
Google Chrome 59.0.3071.36 beta
$ google-chrome-beta --remote-debugging-port=9222 --headless
