ARM64 version of Linux Chromedriver: "Timed out waiting for driver server to start."

[patrickgardella]

I know, there is nothing you can do until Google releases the ChromeDriver for linux-arm64, but I wanted to open this to let people know what is happening when they search for this.

I get the "Connecting to remote server' time out error, because while it can start the java selenium server, it can't start the linux64 chromedriver. That is the wrong exec format (being for X64, not ARM64)

Operating System

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on arm64

Please describe Expected behaviour

Chromedriver should start and RSelenium should work

Please describe Actual behaviour
