Could you try re-running the command with --enable-crash-reporter --enable-logging --v=99 and pasting the uploaded crash dump ID here?

Sure. Here's the gist of it. 

[jenkins@my-worker1 ~]$ /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --headless --disable-gpu --dump-dom --enable-crash-reporter --enable-logging --v=99 http://dl.google.com

It's odd that we can't generate a valid crash dump. Could you try once more with --no-sandbox?

Sure, and no, it seems i get exactly the same.

Any updates on this? Do you need anything more from me? 

Is the problem present in Centos as well?

There's also  bug 730454 , which seems to indicate that bug reporter got it working with some workarounds. (Which shouldn't be needed, ideally)

I can confirm that this is not a problem in CentOS 7, i tested it in a Vagrant environment and there it worked fine. 

Sorry, I still haven't been able to reproduce this. Something must be different about the RHEL environment.

Would you mind seeing if this command provides any clues (you might need to install gdb first):

gdb --args /opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --headless --disable-gpu --dump-dom --enable-logging --v=99 --no-sandbox http://dl.google.com

If the crash is in the renderer, this command should catch that (requires xterm and a working X11 connection, e.g., ssh -X):

/opt/google/chrome/google-chrome --headless --disable-gpu --dump-dom --enable-logging --v=99 --no-sandbox --renderer-cmd-prefix='xterm -title renderer -e gdb --args' http://dl.google.com

Hello,

I am also facing similar kind of issue,

As original poster i can say i have dropped trying to run chrome in headless mode on our build-server. The purpose was to get Chromedriver to run in our CI environment, instead we went with using Selenoid in a docker-cluster. That was easier. 

If you ran into this trying to get Selenium Server working with Jenkins, which i assume is why you want it running in headless mode in the first place, then i can heartily recommend Selenoid as a solution for that problem.

i also wrote a piece on it here:

By all means, fix the bug and continue to improve chrome --headless, but i will not track this issue any longer. Thanks for the help so far! 

Headless chrome(Version 63 - stable version) working only on CentOS 7.4 . It does not work on CentOS 7.3 or 7.2 (I tried with all chrome versions 63, 62, 61, 60, 59)

Hello, I had same issue on CentOS 7.2.

This fix this:

yum install  \
    ipa-gothic-fonts \
    xorg-x11-fonts-100dpi \
    xorg-x11-fonts-75dpi \
    xorg-x11-utils \
    xorg-x11-fonts-cyrillic \
    xorg-x11-fonts-Type1 \
    xorg-x11-fonts-misc -y

c#15: Are all of those packages necessary?  If it's just eg. ipa-gothic-fonts, I think we could simply add it as a manual dependency.

Just tested with CentOS 7.4.1708, Google Chrome stable 63.0.3239.132.

I only installed the minimal packages required for CentOS and Chrome, and I'm able to run "google-chrome-stable --headless --disable-gpu --dump-dom http://dl.google.com" without issue.  The only font packages I have are:
fontconfig.x86_64
fontpackages-filesystem.noarch
stix-fonts.noarch
