Instapy: Timeout Error

[kushpvo]

I'm getting this error frequently. Everything else works fine.

@kushpvo Do you have enough RAM?
Are there any zombie instances running? (ps aux)

[kushpvo]

Yes, 2GB RAM Server.
No, i checked for Zombie Instances, none running.

[jeffreylm]

How do you check for zombie instances on windows? I'm guessing starting the task manager and if it is so, what process am I looking for?

[timgrossmann]

@jeffreylm Exactly, you could start the Task Manager and check for duplicated Chrome instances.
If you run it on a Server, you also would've to look for duplicated xvfb instances.

I've had the same issue today.
Have you fixed it?
I'm using headless chrome on 2 GB RAM server, so it should be just fine

[patrickdundas]

Also had this issue today. Running 2GB RAM digital ocean droplet Ubuntu.

Had the same issue. fixed it by killing all zombie instances that were running. I used
kill $(ps aux | grep 'chrome' | awk '{print $2}')
