[R] Webshot failed to take snapshot in Ubuntu machine

[Marc Girondot]

Hi Christofer,
I just try on MacOSX and ubuntu and it works on both:

For ubuntu:
 > Sys.info()
                                       sysname
                                       "Linux"
                                       release
                           "4.15.0-42-generic"
                                       version
"#45-Ubuntu SMP Thu Nov 15 19:32:57 UTC 2018"
                                      nodename
                                "lepidochelys"
                                       machine
                                      "x86_64"

Not sure what to do...
