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

So how are we suppose to install this package? I love this package and it worked on my (now broken install) but on my fresh install it fails the validity test and it can't be installed now.

frealgagu commented on 2019-08-13 03:38 (UTC)

@apepa I've done it recently and it works, maybe there is some step you are missing? You need to execute some post installation commands, like configure the DE and chrome remote itself.

apepa commented on 2019-08-13 00:38 (UTC)

@frealagu I know you still need to download a package, but the package as is on AUR no longer works for fresh installations, hence why I flagged as out of date.

The google page instructs you to install the .Deb and follow the instructions to set the machine up as a host. The AUR package installs the old app leaving you with no way of using it as a host with the new web based system.

frealgagu commented on 2019-08-12 22:41 (UTC)

@apepa you still need to download and install a package (.deb). This package downloads and converts to pacman for archlinux installation. Please don't flag this as outdated because is not.

apepa commented on 2019-08-11 11:41 (UTC)

No use installing the package, it just tells you the app is no longer supported and to use the new web app instead.

[Solved] Giving support via Incognito mode or disable Ublock Origin works well .

Problem: Giving support connected but no remote desktop appears. I have no problem getting support.

Any suggestion, will be appreciated.

I can confirm @zhtlancer solution works, no need to relogin/reboot. Just make that file, then crd --start will work.

kikrim commented on 2019-05-13 11:01 (UTC)

@zhtlancer is right. I have solved daemon start by creating a file chrome-remote-desktop with that content in /etc/pam.d/

Thank you very much.

hi all, I have a similar problem as osjacky430

on "crd --restart" I get:

The daemon is not currently running [0511/180613.232155:INFO:remoting_user_session.cc(691)] Daemon process started in the background, logging to '/tmp/chrome_remote_desktop_20190511_180613_NJ17ss' [0511/180613.232976:WARNING:remoting_user_session.cc(613)] Failed to read from message pipe. Please check log to determine host status.

it looks like no matter what I try to start the service CRD status is always "stopped".

Hi, I can't get the crd to enable remote connection, connect to others or share this computer by enter the code do work, but when I pressed enable remote connection, and enter the PIN number, my computer's name do show up in the list, but just appear to be offline.

Also,

crd --start gives me `[0328/210609.180501:INFO:remoting_user_session.cc(691)] Daemon process started in the background, logging to '/tmp/chrome_remote_desktop_20190328_210609_g6ApDa' WARNING:remoting_user_session.cc(613)] Failed to read from message pipe. Please check log to determine host status.

Log file: /tmp/chrome_remote_desktop_20190328_210609_g6ApDa`

But I got permission denied FATAL:remoting_user_session.cc(262)] [PAM] Account check: Authentication failure

I've done what @zhtlancer said, but the issue still persists.
