Unable to run tests on Chrome 60 on headless mode, Selenium 3.4, Chrome driver 2.30

We are trying to run Selenium tests with the headless Chrome browser with Jenkins pipeline on Centos 7. We are getting the following error message. Please can you let me know  if anyone overcame this issue.

following is the basic code we used.

import org.junit.Test;
import org.openqa.selenium.WebDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeDriver;
import org.openqa.selenium.chrome.ChromeOptions;
public class chrome {
   
@Test  
public void chromeTest(){
       
        System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", "chromeDriverLinux/chromedriver");
        ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
        options.addArguments("headless");
        options.addArguments("disable-gpu");
        WebDriver driver = new ChromeDriver(options);
        driver.get("http://www.google.com");
       
    }
}
