Thanks @frealgagu for packaging this, @nightuser for the existing session patch and @Brinsky for the instructions.

I've compiled both instructions with screenshots and added it to my blog if anyone is having issues with the install. Otherwise, just follow the instructions in the comments by @Brinsky from 2019-12-06 13:58.

Here's how I got this working with the new web app (remotedesktop.google.com):

  1. Build and install the package
  2. run crd --setup
  3. (Optional) Configure execution of your preferred window manager in ~/.chrome-remote-desktop-session
  4. Go to http://remotedesktop.google.com/headless
  5. Click "next" and "authorize" through each instruction
  6. Copy/paste and run the provided "Debian" command, which should look like the following: DISPLAY= /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host --code="<UNIQUE_CODE>" --redirect-url="<https://remotedesktop.google.com/_/oauthredirect>" --name=
  7. Set up a name and PIN
  8. Wait for successful output containing "Host ready to receive connections."
  9. Run crd --start

@starain I forked your gist, added some deps and also enforced suid bit to user only. For anyone having issues, try using this gist in place of /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop: https://gist.github.com/tonylambiris/d9b37f224b166a823eb8115911114019

You will just have to change DEFAULT_SIZES to your regular resolution you run X at. You may also have to change FIRST_X_DISPLAY_NUMBER to share your desktop like you normally would want to in a remote pc session. I found this by running sudo xdpyinfo | head -3 (running with sudo is intentional).

Lastly, I matched .config/chrome-remote-desktop/Size to reflect the resolution set in DEFAULT_SIZES. This file literally is 1 line with 3840x2160 in it. I believe that's everything to get you up and running.

Got it work, not sure how to make it to AUR, here is the patch: https://gist.github.com/starain/d4a413826cd957384a2bbc744c4325c5

Got the latest one from https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb, the actual md5sum is a933a425339b7d5da9dcb71fca15611f. Replaced this on the PKGBUILD. Installed ok, but got the following error when try crd --start:

/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/user-session not installed setuid root. Host must be started by administrator.

And this when tried with sudo:

Please run this as a normal user!

Anyone has updated PKGINFO?

@ben0mega The problem won't be so much the AUR workflow, that's relatively easy to get into, but the new version has additional security features which I couldn't get to work. Probably a missing dependency or something, but I couldn't find it.

ben0mega commented on 2017-11-14 03:02 (UTC)

The current version is 63.0.3239.17 And can be found here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/chrome-remote-desktop/gbchcmhmhahfdphkhkmpfmihenigjmpp?hl=en I would adopt it, but I don't know what that all entails (I do write code, but I am not familiar with the Arch/AUR workflow).

I get a download error when trying to install this package curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404 Not Found ==> ERROR: Downloading failed http://dl.google.com/linux/chrome-remote-desktop/deb/pool/main/c/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop_61.0.3163.20_amd64.deb Aborting...

I'm not using this package anymore. There's quite a big update on it upstream with various bits and pieces that need seeing to and I don't have the time for it, so I'm letting the package go. CRD will need to be changed apart from anything else.

zehph commented on 2017-10-18 22:35 (UTC)

It is presenting this weird issue if you try to install it with aura, it says the CRD says it's dependant on catalyst-server, I tryed yaourt and entered the PKGBUILD editor, made no modifications and continued the build process... Installed flawlessly.

DaveB commented on 2017-10-17 20:15 (UTC)

@Bittersourness Sorry, I've only tested it using XFCE and Cinnamon on Linux to Linux. Sound is often a problem using CRD.
