Create /etc/X11/xorg.conf with:

# Download the .deb package wget https://dl.google.com/linux/direct/chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb sudo apt update sudo apt install --fix-broken -y ./chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb Step 2: Set Up Headless Display (Crucial for Ubuntu) By default, Chrome Remote Desktop expects a physical display. To use it headless (without a monitor plugged in), create a virtual display: chrome remote desktop ubuntu

# Create a dummy display config sudo apt install xserver-xorg-video-dummy -y sudo mv /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak 2>/dev/null chrome remote desktop ubuntu
