I did get it installed and functioning but as soon as I reboot my machine I loose access to my machine and I get stuck in a login loop. I had to do a fresh install of 20.04.

For anyone else experiencing it, I was able to recover by dropping to a tty (ctrl-alt-F2), logging in, then running these commands - sudo apt purge chrome-remote-desktop sudo apt autoremove reboot I'm not sure if it was the chrome-remote-desktop package, or something in the dependencies, but that will clean them both up and it solved the problem for me recommended this marked this as an answer Recommended based on info available Our automated system analyzes replies to choose the one that's most likely to answer the question.

Problem seems to be that you can't have two sessions with the same desktop. To exit the login loop: open a terminal (CTRL-ALT-F2) and login Then "sudo service chrome-remote-desktop stop" Then CTRL-ALT-F7 should get you to your login screen which should work normally. I then installed XFCE as an alternate desktop. Told chrome-remote-desktop to use XFCE rather than MATE with a file called: ".chrome-remote-desktop-session" in my home directory. Contents of that file:exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session "startxfce4" Reboot and you should be all set. recommended this marked this as an answer Recommended based on info available Our automated system analyzes replies to choose the one that's most likely to answer the question.

P Parish Wolfe 5/25/20 Recommended Answer Relevant Answer I am able to install and use it on ubuntu 20.04 LTS as of now, but it is very unstable and I end up ssh'ing to the box to blast a systemctl restart chrome-remote-desktop.service fairly regularly. Its fine over my lan for now but its really irritating that its not dependable. recommended this marked this as an answer Recommended based on info available Our automated system analyzes replies to choose the one that's most likely to answer the question.
