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

"Failed to load config: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/<user>/.config/chrome-remote-desktop/host#<long hash of unknown purpose>.json'" I installed this package from the AUR, ran "crd --setup", and then ran "crd --start". I get the above error message. Also, this: "gpasswd: group 'chrome-remote-desktop' does not exist in /etc/group" ...happens during "crd --setup".

If you find that your sound isn't working, it's probably because of two alterations to /etc/pulse/client.conf and /etc/pulse/daemon.conf. Restore them to their defaults, restart pulse, and you should get sound on the client as well. It might still sound ragged though, so don't expect miracles. I'll add this note to the next package. Also, it's _not_ a good idea to autostart CRD – some programs are single-instance, and won't start on the machine running CRD if they're already running in the CRD instance. One example is AutoKey.

Ok, tried it again. Turned out a little more complicated than I thought. Also added "crd" command for starting and stopping chrome-remote-desktop from the command line, also destroys old and useless pulse audio files where necessary as they don't work between sessions. crd has a --setup option as manually adding bits and pieces after the install is inconvenient.

@DaveB, yes. I did have two .json files already in my chromium native-messaging-hosts directory. They're named "com.google.chrome.remote_assistance.json" and "com.google.chrome.remote_desktop.json" but appear to be symlinks which makes me wonder whether a previous version of the package made them.

DaveB commented on 2015-10-01 08:26 (UTC)

Thanks @WhiteHatHacker1! I don't use chromium, so I'm tapping in the dark. This is an aspect of packaging I don't know much about – I'll have to look into it over the weekend. I'll probably solve it using a find-xargs one-liner. If the file is already in there, the attempt to ln -s it will fail anyway, but that may or may not have nasty repercussions on uninstalling so I'll have to look into it. Question though – were one or two of the the same .json files already in your chromium native-messaging-hosts directory?

WhiteHatHacker1 commented on 2015-09-28 21:02 (UTC)

Thanks for adopting the package @DaveB! I think the symlink you suggested is problematic as well, @soxet. I already have the "native-messaging-hosts" directory in my "/etc/chromium" folder, so trying to create a symlink to it results in an error. Perhaps the presence of correct symlinks could be checked for before symlinking the two .json files individually.

DaveB commented on 2015-09-27 14:11 (UTC)

Hey, I've adopted the package. This is going to be one of those high-maintenance Google packages, so if you see anything you think needs fixing or if you have any suggestions, please comment here – or even better, send me an e-mail. I'd like to keep this package healthy, so any help will be welcome. If anyone else wants to take over the package, I'd be only too happy to surrender it.

soxet commented on 2015-09-09 22:11 (UTC)

/etc/chromium/native-messaging-hosts contains a * file which is a symlink. This doesn't work. Need to replace dir with correct symlink: ln -s /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/ native-messaging-hosts

Current version is 45.0.2454.17, you need to bump the version number to force an AUR update!
