[Python] request_html.render() working on windows, but not on Ubuntu

I have following code:

from requests_html import HTMLSession()
session = HTMLSession()

response = session.get(url)
response.html.render() # <- causes error
page_soup = soup(response.html.html, "html.parser")
response.close()


which I'm trying to parse website with JS. Independently of which website I tried to render i get following error on Ubuntu:

When I run the same code on my local computer with Windows 10 everything works fine.

In both environments the same versions of library:

I have installed chromium on Ubuntu.
