I am new to Chrome cast. I ask this question because I can't get a helloText sample app running. I am hosting the receiver on a static local IP address. Both the sender and receiver were cloned from the sample apps repository for Google cast. However the same app ran successfully on a Mac. On Linux it return a 'session_error'. My app is registered with Google Cast SDK and all the options have be marked as instructed.

SESSION_ERROR means a session could not be created, or a session was invalid. This answer from Ali Nadaff might help:
Make sure you have registered your chromecast device on the developer console. Double check the serial number since sometimes it is hard to read it. During the chromecast setup, there was a box stating something like "Send the serial number ..", make sure that is checked Wait 1/2 hour or so and reboot your chromecast Check whether you can access http://:9222 from a chrome browser on the same wifi network; if you can, then your device is ready for development

The answer provided above is correct. The specific case of which I was experiencing is the https server that was being used on linux had to be added as an exception (as I was using a local server). This could not be managed on the chrome cast and hence the receiver could not to located/launched. I had previously used a http server on Mac and it worked just as well once this change was made. Since the receiver could not be located a SESSION_ERROR was occurring.
