title: Having trouble launching Chrome from Selenium on Linux subsystem for Windows
body: <p>This is my first time posting, so I apologize in advance if I'm missing anything glaringly obvious. I'm attempting to launch Chrome via Selenium through python3 on a version of Ubuntu (18.04.3 LTS) on a Linux subsystem for Windows. I have chromedriver installed in <code>/usr/bin/chromedriver</code>, and installed the binary through <code>pip3 install chromedriver-binary</code>. The commands are:</p>
  
  <pre><code>from selenium import webdriver
  
  driver = webdriver.Chrome()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When I try to execute the second line, I get the error</p>
  
  <pre><code>raise exception_class(message, screen, stacktrace)
  selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed
  (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.).
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I've poked around, and it sounds like I might need to pass in the path to Chrome(), but I'm not even sure if that is the issue or not. I'm definitely about as green as they come, so thanks in advance for any help!</p>
