The start-host command asked the expected questions of the computer name and PIN, then gave the error: Couldn't start host: OAuth error. This is the command I got from the Chrome site, modified to work with CentOS: DISPLAY= /usr/lib64/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host -code="" -redirect-url="" -name= opened 'chrome remote desktop' in chrome and clicked on 'turn on', went through the steps but at that point I have been displayed the 'turn on' option again. Log file: /tmp/chromeremotedesktop20190511205714gZgYGR The log file is empty. I have accidentally left the computer logged in, but I have it set to ask for Admin privileges when installing new apps. Please check log to determine host status. Nobody uses this computer but me, and nobody has my password.
I can get X11 to sort-of work remotely, but not well enough to run oneWEX. I might have installed this a long time ago and not remember it, but I definitely did not install this on the 20th of last month. If I can't get Chrome Remote Desktop working, I'd be willing to try another method to run GUI-based applications (in this case, IBM's oneWEX). To enable Chrome Remote Desktop for local area network or VPN users only, disable firewall traversal by setting the RemoteAccessHostFirewallTraversal policy on Windows Mac and Linux machines. Control Chrome Remote Desktop network settings. The '1' and '0' values are of type DWORD-32. CRD will install the newest version of the extension and all will be golden again (until next time). Note: The parent registry keys you use to control the use of Chrome Remote Desktop may not exist even with Chrome installed. If you're still having issues, remove Chrome Remote Desktop from your Account and re-install/authorize it.
Next, create a PIN with six digits, which will be required to access your computer from another device. It is at this point that both of you will be prompted to download Chrome Remote Desktop Host Installer, a lightweight and simple component used to share your screen. There was an update to Chrome Remote Desktop that fixed this problem for most people involved. Once the download is complete, open the installer and follow the instructions flashed on your screen. I did the likely web searches and found some fairly old and unhelpful information, but nothing useful. Chrome will then begin downloading the Chrome Remote Desktop Host Installer. There was not an option for CentOS, so I chose "Debian" and when it gave me the connect command, I replaced the path to start-host with the CentOS one of /usr/lib64/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host, and running the resulting command fails. I accessed the site with Chrome, filled out the choices, and went through the authorization phase. When I run the start-host command, it fails with "OAuth error" and no more information. I'm running CentOS 7 in a Google Compute Engine VM, and trying to connect to it via Chrome Remote Desktop.
