notebook: How to deal with chrome failing to launch GPU process
Hi. The issue is specifically about this error:
[6875:6912:0911/093717.922624:ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(103)] Failed to launch GPU process.
Whenever I launch Jupyter Notebook in Chrome (latest build, Hardware Acceleration enabled, on Ubuntu 16.04), the terminal throws me that error. However, this is not the case with Firefox. Any ideas on why this happens?

I had this same error (“ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(108)] Failed to launch GPU process”). After running jupyter notebook, I would get a new tab in google-chrome, but it would be blank.
Following but slightly modifying @wewan’s advice, I ran “export BROWSER=google-chrome”. Then running jupyter notebook worked as expected. I am using Ubuntu 16.04, Google Chrome 62.0.3202.62, and Jupyter 4.3.0. Also, if this works, you’ll obviously want to add the export command to your .bashrc or .bash_profile
“export BROWSER=google-chrome” command worked for me as well. Thanks for the help 😃
Nice, “export BROWSER=google-chrome” works!
“export BROWSER=google-chrome” works for me too! But to add this item before “anaconda3 path variable”!
Thanks @EvansDaniel (also @ShamCondor and @dartdog ) ! Adding “export BROWSER=google-chrome” to .bashrc (and opening a new terminal) worked for me too! OS Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.
I am opening urls in browser with webbrowser python’s module and I see this message “ERROR:browser_gpu_channel_host_factory.cc(120)] Failed to launch GPU process.” My script is working as it should. I am going to check it on eg. Opera.
Also tried
export BROWSER=google-chromebut didn’t work.I am using Ubuntu 16.04, Google Chrome Version 65.0.3325.181, and Jupyter 5.4.1.
I have the same issue on MAC.
I have tried
export BROWSER=google-chromebut do not work.i’ve the same issue too. Jupiter 5.0.0, Radeon pro 560 (Mac). No effect with export BROWSER=google-chrome 😦
i have the same issue, but this time i’m trying to launch a bokeh app on chrome. i cant use firefox because the cpu load gets to 60%

Works for me on Ubuntu 16.04 and the newest Nvidia driver (390) on the Nvidia 1070 “export BROWSER=google-chrome” works for me too! In .bash.rc add this item before “anaconda3 path variable”!
