Building on Ubuntu - Cannot start ChromeHeadless

[Charles Severance]

Hi all,

I am building Sakai on ubuntu, and getting the following error:

[INFO] 18 05 2021 12:26:49.803:INFO [launcher]: Starting browser ChromeHeadless
[INFO] 18 05 2021 12:26:49.865:ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start ChromeHeadless
[INFO] /root/sakai-scripts/trunk/webcomponents/tool/src/main/frontend/node_modules/puppeteer/.local-chromium/linux-856583/chrome-linux/chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libxkbcommon.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I can Google and StackOverflow my way through this - but am wondering if something has changed in terms of things I need to install before I can compile Sakai on ubuntu and if there is some Sakai documentation that helps me out.

Update - Here is how I worked around this:

apt-get update
apt-get install -y libgbm-dev
apt-get install -y libxkbcommon-x11-0
apt-get install -y libgtk-3-0

Then I found that chrome headless won't run if you build as root - with
the following error.

[INFO] 18 05 2021 13:00:05.883:ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start ChromeHeadless
[INFO] [0518/130005.862638:ERROR:zygote_host_impl_linux.cc(90)] Running
as root without --no-sandbox is not supported. See https://crbug.com/638180.

But compiling not as root - worked.  Whew.

Just sharing in case this is not what we intended.

FYI we will be removing karma from the build soon so this will go away.
