“Refusing to run /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host as …”












0















I'm following these instructions: https://remotedesktop.google.com/headless



On a fresh server running Ubuntu 18.04



I've successfully installed Chrome Remote Desktop on it and it's running. Everything seem good so far...



...until the authorization step. I'm given a command to execute on my server:



/opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host --code="4/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx" --redirect-url="https://remotedesktop.google.com/_/oauthredirect" --name=


but I get:



Refusing to run /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host as root.root@myserver


What should I do?
