This issue has been addressed here: Cypress verify command failing #6184

I tried the suggested work around and my problems went away.

Xvfb :1 -screen 0 1280x800x24 &
export DISPLAY=:1
npx cypress verify
npx cypress run

In the gitter feed Gleb Bahmutov explained

"It seems Ubuntu 18.04 XVFB has a weird behavior where it does not set default screen, we have added explicit set in cypress-io/cypress#6184 but it has not yet been released."
