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

@nightuser yeah, that's the first hint. You can download the deb, extract it, extract the control packsge and see the control file to know the current version.

I'll update ASAP.

nightuser commented on 2019-08-27 08:11 (UTC)

The sha256 sum of the .deb isn't correct. Perhaps the package was updated on Google's servers?

apepa commented on 2019-08-15 19:04 (UTC)

Yes, I was unaware you needed to run crd in terminal to set it up. On first impression to a Linux novice like me it just looks like a simple process of building the package in pacman and running the app as it is with Chrome itself.

@frealgagu Ah ok that makes much more sense. Thanks for replying and updating this amazing package I appreciate it!

frealgagu commented on 2019-08-15 18:37 (UTC)

@snipes040 No, this is caused because a new version 76.0.3809.117 is available (and the artifact in download page is replaced). I'll update ASAP.

So how are we suppose to install this package? It worked on my (now broken install) but on a fresh install it fails the validity check. Is there something I'm missing now to get it installed/working with the new web version?

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.
