I clicked “Launch App” and at this point I’m looking at this: I visited the Chrome Remote Desktop Web Store page and installed it by clicking “Add to Chrome”. Next, I launched Chrome and signed in so that I’d be able to install Chrome apps. wget sudo dpkg -i google-chrome-stable_current_b I have never had much success running Chrome Remote Desktop with Chromium. Once that was done, the first thing I did was to install Google Chrome, not Chromium, but Chrome. To begin, I started with a fresh install of Ubuntu 18.04 Desktop.

So I decided to try to nail down a concrete set of working steps for myself once and for all. Over the years, I keep trying to install Chrome Remote Desktop but end up dredging up a hodge-podge of articles and forum posts that sometimes lead to dead ends. With Ubuntu 18.04 recently released, I wanted to install Chrome Remote Desktop on it to remotely access my desktop.
