How to install end start chrome remote desctop #ubuntu
Raw
start_chrome_desctop.sh
Mostly from https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/chrome-remote-desktop/?comments=all but with some of my changes.
1. I manually created the chrome-remote-desktop group, and added myself to it.
2. I manually created the ~/.chrome-remote-desktop-session file with "exec startxfce4" in it.
3. I manually created the ~/.config/chrome-remote-desktop directory.
4. mkdir /etc/chromium-browser/native-messaging-hosts
4. ln -s /etc/opt/chrome/native-messaging-hosts/* /etc/chromium-browser/native-messaging-hosts/
You should now have a 'Enable Remote Connection' button on the CRD extension page.
sudo /etc/init.d/chrome-remote-desktop start
/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/chrome-remote-desktop --start
Failed to load config: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/home/ia-17/.config/chrome-remote-desktop/host#ae3f5ead63df7c4b98ea35d4d09b4e66.json'

There is a slight drawback using this method btw, you wont be able to use super user authentication graphically!
