Question

ubuntu

Selenium-standalnoe (latest from site 2.48.2) does not start, OS - ubuntu server 14.04 with the latest updates, jdk: openjdk7 from the distribution, and oracle jdk8, the symptoms are the same:

[email protected]:~$ java -jar selenium-server-standalone-2.48.2.jar
18:01:43.539 INFO - Launching a standalone Selenium Server

And it hangs on it. It is not clear why and what to do?

Answer 1

Why did you decide that it hangs?
You have launched the server, now you need to install, for example, Firefox and check from the code whether your bundle is working.
Try following this manual:

Answer 2

The problem is strange, it was not possible to solve it, I got out of the situation by running selenium in the docker -selenium container
