@nanaoa I'm sorry, I'd no idea about that. Maybe you can send a feedback to the upstream?

I want to use my computer from my android phone (as I do with my windows install). When I try to share my desktop it says to go to g.co/crd/headless and run a debian command in terminal, but fails because the file /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host is missing.

I have installed: google-chrome chrome-remote-desktop-bin and electron23-bin

any ideas?

@nanaoa You just need to install electron23-bin at first.

Wich browser is required for this to work? I have installed google-chrome (AUR): https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/google-chrome

But when I try to share my desktop chrome-remote-desktop-bin says I have to install chrome and hangs for a few minutes.

Im thinking kdeconnet is a better choice.

@elvisvan I suggest that you can just install electron23-bin, everything will be ok.

is it necessary to full clone the electron (and chromium-mirror, etc.) repo with its entire history for this to work? if not i suggest specifying --depth=1 for the git clone operation in order to reduce installation time, the clone operation has been running for over 10min and it's still at only 10% but already >4gb in size, at this rate it will be ~40gb after clone finish
