Use Chrome Remote Desktop on Linux
Step 1: Install the Debian package for the host components
Download the 64-bit Debian package here.
Step 2: Allow remote connections
Go to the “Set up remote access to your computer” section above.
Step 3 (Optional): Customize your virtual desktop session
When you first connect, you'll get a default session chooser where you can select your desktop environment. If you always want to launch a specific desktop environment:
In /usr/share/xsessions/, find the .desktop file for your preferred desktop environment. In the file, you'll find a line that starts with Exec= with the command you need to start the session.
- For example, Cinnamon has a file named cinnamon.desktop. In some versions, the file might have the command: gnome-session --session=cinnamon.
- Create a file called .chrome-remote-desktop-session in your home directory with the content: exec /etc/X11/Xsession '<YOUR_EXEC_COMMAND>'.
- Replace <YOUR_EXEC_COMMAND> with the command at the end of your .desktop file.
- In the example for Cinnamon, the correct command is exec /etc/X11/Xsession 'gnome-session --session=cinnamon'.
- Save the file called $HOME/.chrome-remote-desktop-session. You'll find this change the next time you restart the Chrome Remote Desktop host.
- The virtual desktop session is created and .chrome-remote-desktop-session starts when Chrome Remote Desktop starts.
Tip: Your desktop environment may not support more than one session at a time. In this case, we recommend that you use different desktop environments for your Chrome Remote Desktop session and your local session, or use the session chooser.
If you use the session chooser, we recommend that you sign out of the desktop environment in Chrome Remote Desktop or your local session before you sign in to the same desktop environment on the other.
