Kibana - Failed to launch chrome!

Hi:

I have Ubuntu server, downloaded tar, extracted it and trying to run.
Also installed bunch of packages from: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/blob/main/docs/troubleshooting.md (see "Chrome headless doesn't launch on UNIX" ) however getting the following error:

log [03:01:24.499] [error][reporting] Error: Failed to launch chrome!

Hi
sorry to hear, so chrome is used for generating reports, did you have a look at our reporting troubleshooting page?

Here's a related problem discussed

If that doesn't help, I can ask people with deeper knowledge of chromium linux problems

Best,
Matthias
