Error when running sitespeed.io with chrome : Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally

I was running this command on the terminal

$ sitespeed.io -u -b chrome 

but always facing this error, I have tried many times but in vain cannot figure out the problem

message: 'unknown error: Chrome failed to start: exited abnormally\n (Driver info: chromedriver=2.16.333243 (0bfa1357514444f1ddb82bf70944f96),platform=Linux 3.13.0-65-generic x86_64)

knowing that

1-Os version : Ubuntu 14.04.3 LTS

2-my google chrome version is

$ google-chrome -version Google Chrome 46.0.2490.71

3-chrome driver version

$ chromedriver -version ChromeDriver 2.10.267518

but in the message error it is "Driver info: chromedriver=2.16.333243" .... I didn´t understand why they aren´t the same version ?

Google chrome version is not supported neither with chromedriver=2.16 nor with ChromeDriver 2.10.

----------ChromeDriver v2.16 (2015-06-08)----------
Supports Chrome v42-45
----------ChromeDriver v2.10 (2014-05-01)----------
Supports Chrome v33-36

what should I do in this case ?

I appreciate your help . Thx

Could it be that you have two drivers installed on different paths?

However: upgrade to latest chrome driver 2.20 and it should work with your Chrome version. You can find it here:
