Is it regression?

ubuntu-latest on December 1st was working fine.

Expected behavior

Headless Chrome starts correctly

Actual behavior

The display compositor is frequently crashing

Repro steps

npm install karma
ng test --watch=false --project prd --browsers=ChromeHeadless

Hello, Please provide the minimal workflow with all the dependencies to reproduce the issue.

[BenLuts]

We install the angular CLI
npm i @angular/cli

We create a demo angular application by doing
ng new angular-tour-of-heroes

We then run
ng test --watch=false --browsers=ChromeHeadless

Depencies needed is npm 16.x.x

Issue at first glance appears to be similar to this old issue puppeteer/puppeteer#5661 (comment)

Hello,
experiencing exactly the same issue. We use Azure DevOps with ubuntu-latest for building and testing our Angular application.
Since yesterday the karma tests started to fail with an error:

ERROR [launcher]: Cannot start ChromeHeadless

After downgrading to ubuntu-20.04 the problem is gone.

Downgrading to ubuntu-20.04 does fix the problem.

Hello! @BenLuts we can not guarantee that your code will work on ubuntu-22.04 at all due to version differences. From the log you provided we have not found faulty places we could fix on our side, that's why I am going to close the issue. Feel free to reach us out again if you have questions left.
