How to configure chrome remote desktop using Deepin?

Hi,
I was going through the instructions given by Google to setup and run the chrome remote desktop in Ubuntu.
Is there anyway of adapting this to deepin?
Thanks in advance

Here I am pasting what they say

Applies only to Ubuntu 12.04 or higher

Chrome Remote Desktop for Linux is currently in active development. To run this app on Linux, you’ll need to create a separate virtual desktop session.

Install the Debian package

Download and install one of the following Debian packages for the Host components. When you click one of the links below, the package will download automatically.

32-bit Debian Package
64-bit Debian Package
The software will update on its own.

Create a virtual desktop session

The following steps apply to Ubuntu 12.10 or higher. If you have Ubuntu 12.04, you can skip the steps below; Unity 2d desktop will be selected by default.

Create a file called .chrome-remote-desktop-session in your home directory. This should be a shell script that starts your preferred desktop environment.
Find the correct command to start the desktop by looking in /usr/share/xsessions/ for the desktop entry.

For example, the ubuntu-2d.desktop file has the line:
Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d

The text after ‘Exec=’ is the command to start the session. It should be passed (using quotes if necessary) as a parameter to the lightdm-session script. In this case, the correct command would be:
exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d"
Enable remote connections

Open the Chrome Remote Desktop web app.
Click “Enable remote connections.”
Enter a PIN and re-type the PIN. Then click OK.
Dismiss the confirmation dialog.

Yes, you can. The software you installed must be suitable for Ubuntu 12.04, because Deepin is based on Ubuntu 12.04. And you need to download the corresponding installation package.

I tried but I get an xerror message....
Here's what happens.
I create a shell script file in my home page named .chrome-remote-desktop-session
which contains the following

Quote:

#!/bin/bash
exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d"
Enable remote connections

I try running the script and this is the error I get....

Quote:

xmessage
:unable to launch "gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d" x session ---
"gnome-session --session=ubuntu-2d" not found; falling back to default session.

what am I doing wrong?

Could you tell me what your ubuntu version is? Ubuntu - 2 d desktop environment can not be found in your error message. Ubuntu-2D desktop environment has been removed by Ubuntu in the early time, perhaps you should report this bug to the software company.
