For Jenkins User Chrome UI is not opening

I tried setting up Jenkins in two ways :

  1. Just one Jenkins Master
  2. With a Master and slave configured in another machine.

In both cases, the Chrome UI is not getting opened. When I try to run scripts in Chrome - headless mode its working.

I executed the command :

su Jenkins
google-chrome

I got an error - 

No protocol specified

(google-chrome:13404): Gtk-WARNING **: 10:26:05.136: cannot open display: :0

Any idea Why this is happening. Please help

Well, it's happening because the jenkins user is not allowed to communicate with the GUI.

I don't think it's a nice solution to allow another user access the frontend but if you're willing to proceed the solution is to execute the following with your main user: 

xhost +SI:localuser:Jenkins
