Selenium driver throws error on Ubuntu 18.04

I am porting my code over from Windows to Ubuntu, I went ahead and installed java, and all the drivers, and built my jar file. While executing it, I am getting this error. I downloaded the Linux 64bit Chrome Driver for this.

Feb 01, 2021 12:20:51 PM org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities chrome
INFO: Using `new ChromeOptions()` is preferred to `DesiredCapabilities.chrome()`
Starting ChromeDriver 89.0.4389.23 (61b08ee2c50024bab004e48d2b1b083cdbdac579-refs/branch-heads/4389@{#294}) on port 21398
Only local connections are allowed.
Please see https://chromedriver.chromium.org/security-considerations for suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe.
ChromeDriver was started successfully.
Exception in thread "main" org.openqa.selenium.WebDriverException: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally.
  (unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
  (The process started from chrome location /usr/bin/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

The error seems to be starting from my jars main class line 17, which is this line.

driver = new ChromeDriver(desiredCapabilities);

Here is my entire code, that I am trying to execute.

import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver; import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions; import org.openqa.selenium.remote.DesiredCapabilities;

public class Main {
    public static WebDriver driver;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromedriver");
        DesiredCapabilities desiredCapabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("user-data-dir=Profile 1");
        desiredCapabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
        driver = new ChromeDriver(desiredCapabilities);
        driver.get("https://google.com");
    }
}

Answer

Adding --disable-dev-shm-usage as an argument seems to solve the issue.

options.addArguments("--disable-dev-shm-usage");
