ArchLinux chrome remote desktop: unable to open display ":20"

Chrome remote desktop (CRD) is one of those awesome apps you just can’t do without once you start using it.

If, when you try to start the crd server using the command crd --start, you run into the following problem noted by the log:

2018-04-18 17:53:40,861:INFO:**Starting Xvfb on display :20**
**xdpyinfo: unable to open display ":20".**

This is caused by the missing dependency xorg-xrandr
Install this using the command pacman -S xorg-randr and CRD should not have any issues starting after that.

Happy chromoting!

Near line 85, you’ll find the following lines. for id in self.identifier['net']: self.configure(b, id) Remove these before running the installer, and the installer should complete without any issue after that Original solution at: https://forum.manjaro.org/t/calamares-install-fails/16511/8
