Unfortunately the chrome-remote-desktop kcp package is in trouble. Outdated, unable to install

Chrome Remote Desktop was the best alternative for remote access on KaOS. Most solutions like VNC work best with fixed IP, which is not the case for most residential connections.

Anything new about that in recent months for KaOS, something I missed?

Thanks!

Update the KCP package or get the Chrome extension directly from Google Play.

The browser extension works for a remote computer, but requires the download of an installer to give access to our computer. By default a .deb, but it is exactly the kcp package that does not install anymore.

From what I've seen, based on AUR repositories, the new version includes new dependencies, so it makes the job more complicated.

My knowledge is not enough to update the kcp package. But if I do the facilities one by one, I will probably succeed, but the person I want to help remotely, and who uses the KaOS as well, is unable to do so. :/

It seems a contradiction, but KaOS is the easiest and most stable distro to use. I have installed on many family computers, people who barely know what Linux is, where they want to connect and use. KaOs is great for this as it meets all the requirements of a novice user with great tools for use outside the box. But sometimes, even rarely, I need to access these machines remotely to do some maintenance. So a tool like chrome-remote-desktop is a big help.

I'll search a little more about this update, maybe it's not as complicated as it seems...

Actually, you make a good point.....
This probably needs to move to the repos, since it is important functionality, not really covered by any app in the repos.

Plus there is room right now to add a few, so I'll see if I can get chrome-remote-desktop packaged.

Up in the build repo, please check if all works as should (before it moves to all users):

sudo pacman -U http://kaosx.tk/repo/build/python2-psutil-5.2.2-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz http://kaosx.tk/repo/build/chrome-remote-desktop-57.0.2987.37-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

Also check if the kdialog popup is clear enough.

    demm Yes! It worked perfectly on my tests. I accessed my computer through a chromebook and also the reverse path. Very fast, no crashes or bugs.

    The message in kdialog is clear to me. During setup, it is necessary to add two lines in ~ / .chrome-remote-desktop-session, this is the only detail that can confuse a newbie, but with guidance this will not be a problem.

    Really a great application for the KaOS.

    Many thanks!
