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

Hey, the current version is 44.0.2403.44 – you might want to update the PKGBUILD to force an AUR update.

DaveB commented on 2015-06-12 16:58 (UTC)

Oh. Then I have no clue, sorry.

I can run multiple instances of gnome-session inside different ttys.

DaveB commented on 2015-06-12 16:49 (UTC)

Oh wait... you mean it would segfault inside chrome on the client machine's gnome-session instance? Sounds like gnome-session doesn't like being in two instances... not sure if not a deal breaker, but if not, you might want to try another DE?

DaveB commented on 2015-06-12 16:46 (UTC)

Hm... chrome shouldn't run the server, you have to start that manually (or via systemd, or in some other way on the host machine)... if you want to do something with CRD in chrome, you should already have CRD server running on your machine... I can't remember how I set it up, I only remember there was some sequence of things I had to do and if I didn't get it right, I'd get segfaults.

Binero commented on 2015-06-12 16:41 (UTC)

gnome-session just segfaults when Chrome runs it for me.

Hey Binero, Yep, google packages are a real pain. I managed to find some on a web repository with version numbers instead of "current", but not all of them are there and it defeats the point of using hashes if you're downloading them from 3rd-party sources. I don't use systemd or any other autostart for CRD – it would "grab" some single-instance progs I have running at autostart so they wouldn't run on my host, so I start CRD on an as-needed basis using a shell script (does one or two other things as well, like deleting the old pulse audio session and forcing CRD to create a new one, old ones didn't work). You shouldn't need to reference a DM – I have "exec startxfce4" in my ~/.chrome-remote-desktop-session. I use lxdm as a DM, no problems – though a running GDM instance might complain for some reason.

Binero commented on 2015-06-12 14:48 (UTC)

@DaveB Ideally the PKGBUILD would just get the version from the package. Anyway, I am trying to set this up with GDM/gnome-session, but having a bit of trouble. Do you happen to know how this is done? (not using lightdm)

DaveB commented on 2015-06-12 14:26 (UTC)

The current version I have installed is now 41.0.2272.41-1 $ ./chrome-remote-desktop --host-version 41.0.2272.41 At the time I wrote my PKBUILD (which is now out of date), the AUR version was still 38.xxx (if I remember right), and was throwing out-of-date warnings on guests. The current package seems up to date and checks out at the current version, but the version number stated in the PKGBUILD is old?

Binero commented on 2015-06-12 12:45 (UTC)

@DaveB How is this out of date? It always gets the latest one.
