No option to "enable remote connections" with chrome remote desktop.

Never mind, I saw there is a new version of crd in AUR.  Installed that and things worked.  I guess there's no way to delete a post that started a thread.  Sorry.

I was using chrome remote desktop without problems for my arch desktop, then forgot my PIN.  Therefore, I deleted the computer and deleted my ~/.config/chrome-remote-desktop directory and tried to re-register my arch linux desktop machine using crd --setup.

The setup shell script worked.  Unfortunately, the chromium web app refuses to believe that I have chrome-remote-desktop installed, and so does not give ma an option to "enable remote connections".  If I click on Share, it keeps saying asking me to download and install a .deb file, the contents of which is already under my /opt directory.

Does any one know how to work around this problem, or else how to register without the chromium app?  All I need is to register my machine and get a host#whatever.json file, and then I think things will work fine.  But I can't find any tools to do this other than the chrome app.  Also, strace doesn't work on chrome, so I can't figure out what file is missing.

Thanks.
