Hi all.

I`m Asking about Crome Remote Desktop by Linux.
In the Googl i see only DEB package: chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb

Serg

You ( without further investigations from my side ) use “alien”.:


alien -r chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb

it will generate an rpm package

Thank you, but:

linux-nczo:/ # alien -r chrome-remote-desktop_current_amd64.deb
If 'alien' is not a typo you can use command-not-found to lookup the package that contains it, like this:
    cnf alien
linux-nczo:/ # zypper in alien
Loading repository data...
Reading installed packages...
'alien' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'alien' found.
Resolving package dependencies...

Nothing to do.
linux-nczo:/ # zypper ls | grep -i packman
5  | packman.inode.at-suse     | Packman Repository                      | Yes     | (r ) Yes  | Yes     | rpm-md
linux-nczo:/ #

it’s not in the main repo it was moved over to the utilities repo
https://software.opensuse.org/package/alien
you can install it with

zypper in https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/utilities/openSUSE_Leap_42.3/x86_64/alien-8.88-3.1.x86_64.rpm

run alien as root or converted files might endup with mixed ownership

sudo alien -c -r deb_file.deb
