#Chrome remote desktop linux how to#
If someone knows how to fix/change this please share. NOTE: This doesn't mirror sessions (or what you do on the main monitor), instead it's like installing a new monitor and thus a new session or desktop.

If you haven't already, install the Chrome Remote Desktop chromeapp, launch it, follow the page for initial setup, click "Enable Remote Connections", set up your pin, Enjoy. Open it and add this line: #Chrome remote desktop infoĮxport CHROME_REMOTE_DESKTOP_DEFAULT_DESKTOP_SIZES="YOUR_PREFERRED/DEFAULT_RESOLUTION_HERE" profile file located in your home (/home/YOU_GET_THE_DRILL) directory. This is how your ".chrome-remote-desktop-session" file inside /home/YOUR_HOME_NAME should look after locating and noting the files.Ĭopy pasta? exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session "startxfce4" This is the location of my SM (lightdm-session) and the files which are necessary in this folder highlighted, their contents are NOT ADVISED TO BE TAMPERED copy the location with the name. I use lightDM (yes despite having Linux Mint) which is basically the default SM for Ubuntu users 12.04+ The "session manager" is a wrapper for your "session" (a launcher for your launcher, if you will, and one reason why this is difficult to understand). Step 3.5: Now, another thing you need to search and take note of is what your session manager is called and where it is located.

If you instead used Cinnamon (using this since thats the other session I have) it would be cinnamon-session-cinnamon(2d, if you're into software rendering) This is the "Exec=" argument, since I'm using xfce4 the command is startxfce4

Follow the onscreen directions to download and install Chrome Remote Desktop. This is the file i'm talking about's location and my "sessions" Under Set up Remote Access, click Download. I use Linux Mint 17.1 (Quiana) w/ xcfe4 as my session of choice. The "sessions" are basically "launchers". It is usually determined after the "Exec=" command in the session file inside "/usr/share/xsessions/". Step 3: This part is crucial so pay attentionįind the correct command to start the desktop by looking in your /usr/share/xsessions/įor the "session" you use normally, or prefer to use for this project.
deb that corresponds to your architecture : 32-bit(i386), 64-bit(Amd64) Click the name of your remote machine. Prerequisites: Ubuntu 12.04+ or your distro's equivalent Because of Googles track record with product support, this will never get fixed and thus I will never use this product.My aim is to help people who never understood all those shady google searches. And no I’m not going to just unplug my second monitor every time I walk away from my computer in case I need to connect with Remote Desktop. The only display option I have is to resize desktop to fit.īecause of this, I have to rate it 1 star because it is simply UNUSABLE for me in its current state. Apparently that option isn’t there anymore. I’ve googled this problem and everyone says the solution is to change which monitor to display. That’s not useful because when I open windows they default to the primary window, and guess what, I can’t see them.
However, the app isn’t at all useful to me because of one thing: there is no option to change display.įor some reason when I connect to my desktop it defaults to showing the second monitor only.

I want to start by saying that I love the potential an app like this brings, being able to access my computer from anywhere, even if it is just to check a date or a password etc. I hope you would take this suggestion into consideration because it would be so helpful to most of not all users of the Chrome Remote Desktop app. That would really bring it all together, and instead of having it integrated make it a custom Keyboard that you have to enable in settings and all that but have its option settings in the app. It bugs me quite a bit that they haven't thought to do it yet because it is nessessary! How is anyone supposed to use Esc or any of the other essential keys?! A 4 layer keyboard would be great, first layer has the letters, backspace, Shift/CapsLock, space bar, return/enter and the main punctuation marks ( like most regular keyboards) And again like most keyboards there would be a second and third layer of numbers and other symbols and then ANOTHER layer that has all the Esc, Ctrl, Shift, Windows, Tab, Print Screen, F1-F12 buttons among others.
I have been using this app for a while now and it has been incredibly useful in so many situations but there is one thing that bugs me so much The app needs is own custom Keyboard, a semi transparent, customizable keyboard. I LOVE THE APP BUT THERE IS SOME THINGS THAT NEED TO BE ADDED.
