Answer 1

Add below chromeOptions in protractor.conf file
capabilities: {
browserName: 'chrome',
chromeOptions: {
args: ['--disable-gpu', '--no-sandbox','--headless', '--disable-extensions', '--disable-dev-shm-usage']
}
--disable-dev-shm-usage : overcome limited resource problems
// The /dev/shm partition is too small in certain VM environments, causing
// Chrome to fail or crash (see http://crbug.com/715363). Use disable-dev-shm-usage flag to
// work-around this issue (a temporary directory will always be used to create
// anonymous shared memory files).
