Support & Help Requests

I was trying this google chrome remote pc extension and my pc just freezed. When I restarted I got the error: could not acquire name on session bus and my MATE interface wont show up. I only got acces my MATE interface by the cellphone with the the chrome remote extension. To me seems like the mate interface “got stuck” to a remote connection to my cell phone. Can someone help me?

It's been years ago since I installed this extension, I can't remember if it worked or not. Did you install a package while installing the extension?

If so, you can boot to Recovery mode by holding SHIFT during boot, GRUB should present itself similar to this:

  2. Choose "Advanced Options" and pick the latest kernel.

  3. A list of options will appear, choose "root - Drop to shell".

  4. Re-mount the disk as read/write and uninstall that package:

    sudo mount -o remount,rw /
sudo apt autoremove chrome-remote-desktop
sudo reboot

Hopefully that will restore the computer back to normal operation. Once you're back in Chrome, remove the extension as it seems it's not compatible with the version of MATE you're using.
