I maintain the latest built package at:

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

Changing locally the version to 128.0.6613.44 then executing command makepkg -si --skipchecksums installs the package successfully.

After running the instruction from @Brinsky post I get an error related to missing .json file in /home/<username>/.config/chrome-remote-desktop/host#*.json. I fixed it by manually adding my user to chrome-remote-desktop group usermod -aG chrome-remote-desktop <USER>

After I restarted the chrome-remote-desktop service with systemctl --user restart chrome-remote-desktop I get the following error:

Sep 18 10:31:38 <HOST> systemd[1469]: Starting "Chrome Remote Desktop host daemon"...

I might be an issue related to the python version installed based on what I researched online. When I run python -V I saw I have installed version 3.12.6

I replaced the \s with \\s in /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop

2562: extra_start_host_args = []
2527:  if HOST_EXTRA_PARAMS_ENV_VAR in os.environ:
2528:      extra_start_host_args = \
2529:          re.split('\\s+', os.environ[HOST_EXTRA_PARAMS_ENV_VAR].strip())

After restarting the chrome--remote-desktop service, the status showed that the daemon is successfully started

The latest version of chrome-remote-desktop is 128.0.6613.44 and the sha256sum is 2840b98becafd01f990f85e3ac8df8d735e4915b2fa774563ce07d091ffec120

You can modify the PKGBUILD with this info and chrome-remote-desktop will build.

You can get the latest version and sha256sum with this curl command:

curl -qs https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome-remote-desktop/deb/dists/stable/main/binary-amd64/Packages | grep "^Version\|^SHA256" | awk '{print $2}'

When building this using makepkg -si, the link "https://dl.google.com/linux/chrome-remote-desktop/deb/pool/main/c/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop_127.0.6533.8_amd64.deb" is invalid and returns 404. Idk what to do, please help me.

It is not about what I prefer. It's about what it (mis)represents. I get what you are trying to do, but this is not how it's done. You should try to work with @frealgagu and get chrome-remote-desktop updated. If he does not respond in reasonable time, and the package is not maintained, you should create orphan request and then adopt the package if accepted.

And to the PKGBUILD itself, having SKIP for the sha256sum check of the .deb file itself is WRONG and should not be done!

mvidaldp commented on 2024-04-03 22:58 (UTC)

@jvybihal I could change it to -latest if you prefer. Or merge it like you suggested :)

jvybihal commented on 2024-04-03 14:09 (UTC)

How is this -git package??
