I am having an annoying problem - I have an instance on google cloud to which I was able to connect via chrome remote desktop, but now suddenly I can no longer connect to it (the instance is online though, as I can login into it via ssh).
This is the error message that I get when I try to copy the command from chrome remote desktop into the instance, in order to connect to it:
DISPLAY= /opt/google/chrome-remote-desktop/start-host --code="4/0Adeu5BVo8L8UtMrMKqH-yzDXxKrjRZM_t19rL4HstNUjGX5GrgGt2jRyi9s89y7miQylrw" --redirect-url="https://remotedesktop.google.com/_/oauthredirect" --name=$(hostname)
Enter a PIN of at least six digits:
Enter the same PIN again:

This is the output of systemctl status chrome-remote-desktop.service:

Not sure where the problem is, as until yesterday it was working fine - but this has happened after a reboot of the machine. I tried already apt purge chrome-remote-desktop and reinstalling chrome-remote-desktop, and I also tried the procedure at this link as at some point I was getting the same error (Unit chrome-remote-desktop.service is masked.), but nothing changes - I am still getting the error above and can no longer connect via remote desktop.
Any help would be very appreciated, as I tried already everything that I could find. Thank you!
