Windows10 ubuntu bash: chromedriver can not initiate Chrome? - python-3.x

Question

I am trying to use chromeriver to fetch some url. But It is not working.
This is my code:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
#from langdetect import detect, DetectorFactory
chrome_options = Options()
# chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
# chrome_options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=9222')
driver = webdriver.Chrome(
chrome_options=chrome_options)
which gives me this error:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally
(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.)
It apparently can't start the Chrome.
If I uncomment this line in the code:
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
It stops working and I have to break it with ctrl + C
which shows this traceback:
Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

My chromedriver executable is stored in the this directory \usr
and so in the .bashrc I have added:
export PATH="/usr:$PATH"
I have followed the installations on this page:
