In this guide, we are going to learn how to install and setup Chrome Remote Desktop on Ubuntu 20.04. Google Chrome Remote Desktop allows users to remotely access and control another computer over the Internet through aprotocol called Chromoting on Google Chrome browsers.

Prerequisites

• A Ubuntu 20.04 machine with a recommended minimum of 2GB RAM
• A non-root sudo user. Being logged in as root isn’t recommended because you can risk harming your system if you’re not careful.

Step 1 – Install Chrome Remote Desktop on Ubuntu 20.04

1. Update the package index and install wgetsudo apt update sudo apt-get install -y wget
2. Download the Debian Linux Chrome Remote Desktop installation packagesudo wget //dl.google.com/linux/direct/chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb
3. Install the package you just downloaded and its dependenciessudo dpkg --install chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb sudo apt install -y --fix-broken

Step 2 – Install an X Windows System Desktop Environment

You need to install an X Windows System desktop environment and window manager to be able to use Chrome Remote Desktop.

Some of the most popular ones include:

• XFCE
• Cinnamon
• LXDE
• LXQt
• GNOME
• MATE Desktop
• KDE Plasma 5

Important Note

Chrome Remote Desktop does not support 3D graphics acceleration. If you choose a desktop environment that uses 3D graphics acceleration, then you need to disable it, otherwise the remote desktop service won’t start.

For this example we’ll install XFCE.

1. In your SSH session install XFCE by running the following command:sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt install -y xfce4 desktop-base
2. Configure Chrome Remote Desktop to use XFCE by default:The DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive parameter suppresses a prompt that would have asked you to configure the keyboard layout.sudo bash -c 'echo "exec /etc/X11/Xsession /usr/bin/xfce4-session" > /etc/chrome-remote-desktop-session'
3. XFCE’s default screen locker, called Light Locker, doesn’t work well with Chrome Remote Desktop. The screen goes blank and can’t be unlocked. We’ll install XScreenSaver as an alternative:sudo apt install -y xscreensaver
4. [Optional] So far we installed the minimal installation of XFCE. If you’d like to install the full suite of software that comes with XFCE desktop run the following:sudo apt install -y task-xfce-desktop
