i am currently trying to run a python script that navigate on the web with selenium and get the html of the product page on a web site and then do scraping to collect info. The info are stored in a database mariadb. I am on a Rasberry pi 5 on Ubuntu, the version of Chromium is Chromium 134.0.6998.88 snap and the version of the chromedriver is ChromeDriver 134.0.6998.88 (7e3d5c978c6d3a6eda25692cfac7f893a2b20dd0-refs/branch-heads/6998@{#1898}). As the title said i can't run the script without getting the error:

   Message: session not created: probably user data directory is already in use, please specify a unique value for --user-data-dir argument, or don't use --user-data-dir

My chrome options are:

options = Options()
options.add_argument('--no-sandbox')
options.add_argument('--disable-dev-shm-usage')
options.add_argument('--headless=new')
options.add_argument('--disable-gpu')
options.add_argument('--disable-extensions')
options.add_argument('--remote-debugging-port=9222') # Specify a port
options.add_argument('--disable-setuid-sandbox')

options.add_argument("--incognito")
options.add_argument("--disable-application-cache")
options.add_argument("--enable-do-not-track")
options.add_argument("--disable-popup-blocking")

options.binary_location = '/snap/bin/chromium'

service = Service('/usr/bin/chromedriver')

I saw in a github report that maybe there is a problem when running as root, i checked and i am not running as root, i tried to run the chromedriver and:

(.venv) realtalker@ubuntu:~/data_workers/scraping_best$ chromedriver
Starting ChromeDriver 133.0.6943.141 (2a5d6da0d6165d7b107502095a937fe7704fcef6-refs/branch-heads/6943@{#1912}) on port 0
Only local connections are allowed.
Please see  for suggestions on keeping ChromeDriver safe.
ChromeDriver was started successfully on port 42027.

so i checked with ps -aux | grep chromedriver and i got:

realtal+  167950  4.1  0.1 33614684 13824 pts/2  Sl+  16:46   0:00 /snap/chromium/3053/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver

then i tried to run the same command to check with chromium before i could get the error and:

realtal+  168029 14.4  0.1 33622940 14720 pts/2  Sl+  16:48   0:00 /snap/chromium/3053/usr/lib/chromium-browser/chromedriver --port=60075
realtal+  168103  0.0  0.0   6676  1920 pts/1    S+   16:48   0:00 grep --color=auto chromium

IMPORTANT: I am on a raspberry pi 5 that runs ubuntu server (Linux ubuntu 6.8.0-1018-raspi #20-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Fri Jan 17 12:35:36 UTC 2025 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux)

I even tried to launch chromium from the command line:

realtalker@ubuntu:~/data_workers/scraping_best$ /snap/bin/chromium --headless --disable-gpu --remote-debugging-port=9222
