I have tried EVERY thread I can find and no solutions are working. I'm not sure if this is because it is a python 3.6 problem?
Did you try giving the chrome webdriver path directly inside the parenthesis?
Same code works perfectly on my windows machine.
I have set environment variables, else i need to provide the path directly.

I have the following script that makes use of selenium for authentication process.
I'm on Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, the computer was reformatted in the past few days, the same script worked before, from reading other threads I suspect that this has to do something with the root user/privileges.
I've tried both Firefox (geckodriver) and Chrome (chromedriver), here's what I did:
Chrome:
from selenium.webdriver import Chrome
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
import chromedriver_autoinstaller
chromedriver_path = chromedriver_autoinstaller.install()
browser = Chrome(executable_path=chromedriver_path)
The error:

I've made sure that my chrome is installed in the default folder, tried to use options such as --no-sandbox, tried to set binary location to where chrome is, did not work.
I've installed chrome in its default path on Linux.
I've tried with the --no sandbox option
I've tried specified the binary path by setting `options.binary_path = '/path/to/google-chrome'
I've installed Xvfb on my machine
I've tried downloading the chromedriver and geckodriver manually and adding them to the path (after placing in /usr/local/...)
I have a python selenium script. I want to run the script on remotely connected(using ssh) PC. when i run the script directly on that PC, it run. but, while i run the same script remotely, it throw error.

Please give me a solution to run the selenium python script remotely.
Thanks in advance.
Try ssh -X, it forwards graphical output to local machine.
I'm try to run the selenium python package in Debian 9 Stretch for web-scraping purposes; I installed such versions for the following softwares:
Python 2.7.13 (with Pycharm 2018.2 Community Edition)
Mozilla Firefox Quantum 61.0.1 (64 bit)
Selenium 3.14 (with GeckoDriver v0.21.0)
When I try to call the web driver by running:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path="/home/quant/Documenti/Executable/geckodriver")
I get the following error message in the python console:
Traceback (most recent call last): File "", line 1, in

raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace) selenium.common.exceptions.SessionNotCreatedException: Message: Unable

What's wrong?
The path of the executable is correct and the file is executable; moreover, by adding the firefox_binary option to the webdriver.Firefox function
as follows:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary="/snap/bin/firefox", executable_path="/home/quant/Documenti/Executable/geckodriver")
one gets the same error shown above.
Any help or suggestion will be appreciated.
Thanks all.
I am using geckodriver for Firefox and I'm running Python 3 with Selenium. This is my code in the file script.py:
from selenium import webdriver
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
browser.get('http://www.google.com')
Once I run it with python3 script.py with my terminal, it launches Firefox but simply doesn't load the page, nor does it insert the link in the address bar. My geckodriver is installed at this location: /usr/local/bin/geckodriver.
After waiting for about a minute, I get the following error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script.py", line 3, in <module>
browser = webdriver.Firefox()
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.5/dist-packages/selenium/webdriver/firefox/webdriver.py", line 154, in __init__

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: connection refused
I already searched a lot for fixes but none of them worked.
After I realized, I was using Firefox ESR instead of the normal one, I switched to the normal Firefox version and faced this problem:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "script.py", line 3, in <module>
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'/root/Downloads/firefox-56.0.1/firefox/firefox')

raise WebDriverException("Can not connect to the Service %s" % self.path)
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: Can not connect to the Service /root/Downloads/firefox-56.0.1/firefox/firefox
Which version of Selenium/Geckodriver/Browser are you using?
Anyway, do you set the executable_path:
driver = webdriver.Firefox(executable_path=r'pathTo/geckodriver')
?
EDIT
If you are using:
Selenium version = 3.6.0
Geckodriver version = 0.19.0
Firefox version = 52.4.0
Your problem is Firefox. From GeckoDriver releases, is recommended Firefox 55.0 (and greater).
I'm using:
Selenium ver 3.0.1
Firefox ver 47 64bit
Windows 10
geckodriver ver 11
My code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.firefox.firefox_binary import FirefoxBinary
binary=FirefoxBinary('C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe')
wb=webdriver.Firefox(firefox_binary=binary)
wb.get("www.python.org")

Found the problem might be a bug
in the geckodriver.log I noticed something odd about the way the firefox.exe was invoked
1478478477543 geckodriver::marionette INFO Starting browser C:\Program
Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox irefox.exe
when I changed my firefox path from firefox.exe to capital F Firefox.exe. everyting worked
binary = FirefoxBinary('C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\Firefox.exe')
