• OS: Ubuntu 22.04.1 LTS
• Node version: v18.12.1

Steps to Reproduce

1. try to create a new session

Your Code

 const options = {
        headless: 'new',
        disableWelcome: true,
        browserArgs:[
                  '--user-agent',
                  '--no-sandbox', 
                  '--disable-setuid-sandbox'
        ]
 }
 create(`touch-wa-bot`, qr, status,options)

Correction

How to fix

Em node_modules\venom-bot\dist\controllers\browser.js

if ((platform === 'darwin' || platform === 'linux')) {
    chromeVersion = await getChromeVersionBash();
}

to

if ((platform === 'darwin' || platform === 'linux') && executablePath.includes('google-chrome')) {
    chromeVersion = await getChromeVersionBash();
}

At the moment, due to the Puppeteer update, I've only implemented checking the Google Chrome version! I'll be adding more checks for other browser versions soon

I put it here in case it happens to anyone else has the solution already.
