I write some script to scrape from web.

When i run the script like this, it's works fine.

python bot.py

But, when the script starts from systemd

sudo systemctl start parser

it's failed with this error:

response = self.execute(Command.NEW_SESSION, parameters)
File "/home/mint/dev/parser/.virtualenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/selenium/webdriver/remote/webdriver.py", line 320,
self.error_handler.check_response(response)

    Fixed my issue with systemd, **moved** my `X.service` file from `/etc/systemd/system/X.service` to `~/.config/systemd/user/X.service`, enabled the user service `systemctl --user enable X.service`, reloaded systemd files `sudo systemctl daemon-reload`, then started the user specific service `systemctl --user start X.service` - Hope this helps the next person – TCB919 Jun 10 '20 at 09:45
