Hi, there is a vnc server or some other software for enabling remote desktop sharing on ChromiumOS
The stock bundled "Chrome remote desktop" isn't enabled for sharing on ChromeOS.
Is it possible to install tightvnc server on Chromium developer mode?


Thank you in advance.
Cheers

sorry, but there currently isn't an option for connecting to Chrome OS.  there are plenty of options for connecting from Chrome OS to another system though.

Thank you for the answer.
Is it possibile to use the ssh X forwarding for having a remote view of the browser?

the link you keep posting has nothing to do with Chromium.  in fact, there is no "Chrome" or "Chromium" anywhere in it.

if you persist in your spamming i'm afraid you'll be banned.

I have some difficulty to make it work.

- I enable my filesystem to be writeable
- In sshd_config i added this lines
                                                 X11Forwarding yes
                                                 X11DisplayOffset 10

- On my linux client I run ssh with -X but i got these errors launching chrome

----------------------------------------------------------
chronos@localhost /opt/google/chrome $ DISPLAY=localhost:10.0
chronos@localhost /opt/google/chrome $ export DISPLAY

chronos@localhost /opt/google/chrome $ ./chrome
X11 connection rejected because of wrong authentication.

I got the same errrors if i run these commands as root.
What can i do?

Thank you.

you don't need to modify your rootfs.  put all your random files in /usr/local/.

that command line makes it look like you're running Chrome locally.  that won't work.  it also looks like you're only trying to use a remote X server rather than ssh-ing somewhere and then running a remote command to display locally.  which doesn't really make sense and will rarely work.

So what can I do for having a remote ssh view of chromium web browser instance?

Thanks.
Cheers
