[Python] trying to run selenium in linux cant find driver

-rwxr-xr-x 1 kyle kyle 6132584 Feb 24 09:27 /usr/local/bin/geckodriver

echo $PATH
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/local/games:/snap/bin:/home/kyle/.dotnet/tools


It is my understanding selenium should be able to find the driver automatically. That does not seem to work for me.

pip show selenium
Name: selenium
Version: 4.18.1


if I try and run my python script with

driver = webdriver.Firefox()


I get

Message: Unable to obtain driver for firefox using Selenium Manager.


if I use

driver = webdriver.Firefox("/usr/local/bin/geckodriver")


Traceback (most recent call last):

path = SeleniumManager().driver_location(options) if path is None else path

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:
