I need to run Google Chrome remotely on a virtual machine using SSH. I do not want xforwarding - I want to utilize the GPU available on the vm. When I try running google-chrome
I get following error:
[19615:19615:0219/152933.751028:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(1512)] Unable to open X display.
I've tried to setting my DISPLAY env value to various values:
export DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
export DISPLAY=127.0.0.1:0.0
export DISPLAY=:0.0
I've also tried replacing 0.0 in abowe examples with different values.
I have ForwardX11 no
in /etc/ssh/sshd_config
I tried setting up target like this:
systemctl isolate multi-user.target
When I try to run sudo lshw -C display
i get folowing output:

I've tried to update my gpu drivers by:
wget https://www.nvidia.com/content/DriverDownload-March2009/confirmation.php?url=/tesla/375.66/nvidia-diag-driver-local-repo-rhel7-375.66-1.x86_64.rpm
yum -y install nvidia-diag-driver-local-repo-rhel7-375.66-1.x86_64.rpm
But after that I still see UNCLIMED
next to my NVIDIA gpu.
Aby ideas?
You can try with Xvfb. it does not require additional hardware.
Install Xvfb if you didn't install it yet and do the following steps.
sudo apt-get install -y xvfb
Dependencies to make "headless" chrome/selenium work:
sudo apt-get -y install xorg xvfb gtk2-engines-pixbuf
sudo apt-get -y install dbus-x11 xfonts-base xfonts-100dpi xfonts-75dpi xfonts-cyrillic xfonts-scalable
Optional but nifty: For capturing screenshots of Xvfb display:
sudo apt-get -y install imagemagick x11-apps
Make sure that Xvfb starts every time the box/vm is booted:
Xvfb -ac :99 -screen 0 1280x1024x16 &
export DISPLAY=:99
Run Google Chrome
google-chrome
