      Hello helpful people.
      I’m fairly new to Linux and also new to forums in general, this being my first post ever…

      Using antiX 17 live with persistence on a tiny 2 GB USB in a laptop with no hdd. I’m trying to make Chrome Remote Desktop work, and the info online says to create a virtual desktop session by looking in /usr/share/xsessions/ for the .desktop file for my preferred desktop environment (space-fluxbox) and creating a file called .chrome-remote-desktop-session in my home directory with the following content: exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session “<YOUR_EXEC_COMMAND>”

      What exactly should I put in that .chrome-remote-desktop-session file? I’ve tried a few options and none of them work:
      exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session “startfluxbox”
      exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session “/usr/bin/startfluxbox”
      exec /usr/sbin/lightdm-session “omgjustwork”
      etc

      Note: I’m not interested in Vino or any other alternatives.

          Lubuntu can do this?? Neat! Really glad you found the perfect linux system for you. That’s what choice is all about! Anyway, Please tell us what the solution was for others that may attempt the same thing!!! Thanks in advance!
