Enable RDP on linux machines #2890

Problem

Hi, I am facing some issues on a build I am doing for one of my PowerShell modules on the linux machine. I am having two tests that are failing, and I cannot reproduce the issue on a local Ubuntu VM (The tests are actually passing on my local VM - so I really don't get why don't pass on the Appveyor VM).

I wanted to log into the machine, and debug the code directly, and see what is happening on the Appveyor VM. But apprently, I can only use SSH to connect to Linux machine.

How

It would be great to enable the possiblity to connect to the Linux VM with a GUI, as I would need to debug code directly there, which would be impossible through SSH (And my poor Linux command skills, beeing a 'Windows guy').

Enabling RDP Could be done using this method (apprently)-> link

Cheers

We use Server installation of Ubuntu. There is no GUI Desktop. Can you please describe your issue which you cant reproduce ?

Hi, thanks for the answer. As I was saying in my original comment, I do have a bug in one of my tests. The issue I face is that the test fails only on the VM on Appveyor. I did launch the tests on two local VM's (CentOS and another Ubuntun) and my code didn't break there.

I want to log in, install a debugger set some breakpoints in my code to see what was different on your machine that on my local ones.
