Chrome Remote Desktop linux service will not start after reboot
0
I have Chrome Remote Desktop installed on Linux Lite [xfce]. It works after installing it from the remotedesktop.google.com site. However, when the computer is rebooted, the service will fail to start.
chrome-remote-desktop.service - LSB: Chrome Remote Desktop service
Loaded: loaded [/etc/init.d/chrome-remote-desktop; generated]

The remotedesktop.google.com site says this:
Session crashed or failed to start. If ~/.chrome-remote-desktop-session exists on the remote computer, make sure it starts a long-running foreground process such as a desktop environment or window manager.
I did not think this was required on the newest version of CRD. However I tried it anyway with this line in that file
exec /usr/sbin/xfce4-session "startxfce4"
and restarting.
Now remotedesktop.google.com shows that it's online and it prompts me for my PIN. However it just hangs indefinitely and does not connect
Then I see these errors like these in the CRD's file in the /tmp/ directory

Not sure what I'm doing wrong here.

Myxfce4-session was located in /usr/bin .. not in sbin. Not sure if that'll help.
