This is a simple guide to install Chrome browser on the Guacamole-XRDP-Xfce4 based Linux desktop.
Please note that, this guide is written for the RDP version of OneClickDesktop. If you are using the VNC version, this guide will NOT work for you. Please use the chrome script to install instead.
Log in to the SSH, or open the Terminal Emulator on your Linux desktop. Run the following command:
sudo apt-get install gdebi -y
(1) Use your web browser, enter your Linux desktop, with root account. This step is very important; using any other account, even with sudo privilege, will NOT work. Please rest assured that only the installation step requires root privilege; using Chrome does NOT need root privilege.
(2) Open your default web browser (Firefox), navigate to https://www.google.com/chrome/, and click Download Chrome in the center of the page.
(3) A Download Chrome for Linux message box will pop up. Please choose the 64bit .deb version, click Accept and Install, and save the .deb package to your disk.
(4) Navigate to the Downloads folder /root/Downloads/ using the File Manager. Right click on the .deb file, then left click the first option Open with "GDebi Package Installer".
(5) Click Install Package.
(6) After a few seconds, the Installation Finished message will show up. You can then close all windows, then LOG OUT of the desktop.
