Recently I switched computers and since then I can't launch chrome with selenium. I've also tried Firefox but the browser instance just doesn't launch.
from selenium import webdriver
d = webdriver.Chrome('/home/PycharmProjects/chromedriver')
d.get('https://www.google.nl/')
i get the following error:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed
(unknown error: DevToolsActivePort file doesn't exist)
(The process started from chrome location /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is no longer running, so ChromeDriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)
(Driver info: chromedriver=2.43.600233, platform=Linux 4.15.0-38-generic x86_64)
i have the latest chrome version and chromedriver installed
EDIT:
After trying @b0sss solution i am getting the following error.
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: unknown error: Chrome failed to start: crashed
(chrome not reachable)
(The process started from chrome location /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome is no longer running, so chromedriver is assuming that Chrome has crashed.)

Try to download HERE and use this latest chrome driver version:
https://sites.google.com/chromium.org/driver/
Try this:
from selenium import webdriver
from selenium.webdriver.chrome.options import Options
chrome_options = Options()
chrome_options.add_argument('--headless')
chrome_options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
chrome_options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
d = webdriver.Chrome('/home/<user>/chromedriver',chrome_options=chrome_options)
d.get('https://www.google.nl/')
