making chrome work headless - google-chrome

Question

I want to get chrome to work headless with selenium on an ubuntu server so that I can run tests against it.
here's the commands I ran to set up chrome headless using xvfb.

Here is a snippet from where I create my driver instance.
This is working on my mac, but have not tested this on ubuntu yet. I'll be doing that very soon.
Note the option: --disable-gpu. This is what made it to work on my local machine.
System.setProperty("webdriver.chrome.driver", chromeAbsolutePath + "");
ChromeOptions options = new ChromeOptions();
options.addArguments("--disable-extensions");
options.addArguments("--headless");
options.addArguments("--disable-gpu");
DesiredCapabilities capabilities = DesiredCapabilities.chrome();
capabilities.setCapability("acceptInsecureCerts", false);
capabilities.setCapability("acceptSslCerts", false);
capabilities.setCapability(ChromeOptions.CAPABILITY, options);
driver = new ChromeDriver(capabilities);
System.out.println(BROWSER + " on local machine initiated");
