I am on Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS and while I can download chrome remote desktop and access my machine using the Remote Support section and typing in the code, I do not see any ability to add my device in the remote access section. I can't add my device and the two devices are my two other computers that I have set it up on (one mac one windows).

What I see

Basically, the solution is: mkdir ~/.config/chrome-remote-desktop

  1. I choose the option "set-up my Ubuntu from another computer".
  2. Follow the instructions until you see the link saying: "You're nearly finished! Run the following command on the remote computer ..."
  3. Run the Debian Linux command on the Ubuntu device. (it may throw an error, but keep pushing enter until it says Host started successfully. :)))"

Use the link from another computer

if it still doesn't work. Try this Reddit comment and restart the process https://www.reddit.com/r/Ubuntu/comments/wrp4dr/ubuntu_2204_and_chrome_remote_desktop_trouble/
