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

The source download fails with a 404 at the moment, but that may be just transient.

Try updating the download url to https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/google-chrome-stable_current_amd64.deb

miwarin commented on 2020-11-11 07:23 (UTC)

Is the latest version 87.0.4280.47? https://chromereleases.googleblog.com/2020/11/beta-channel-update-for-desktop.html

The Beta channel has been updated to 87.0.4280.47 for Windows, Mac and Linux.

Has 87.0.4280.27 been deleted?

The current version isn't supported anymore, and returns a 404, please update to 87.0.4280.27 (63afef7bb034af9ea1b18a7026cce9f128b63339024e19f69dcf8bc87696027f)

j.taala commented on 2020-11-08 09:26 (UTC)

Gives 404 when attempting to download the package (looks like source has moved).

jkrage commented on 2020-08-07 18:32 (UTC)

Seconding @oofnik, dependency on python2-psutil should be replaced with python-psutil. Otherwise ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'psutil' when crd is run.

Workaround of course is to install the new dependency.
