In Windows Azure Linux VM there is no direct way to remote desktop Azure VM. So in this blog post, We are going to learn how we can enable the remote desktop on Azure Linux VM. If you don’t know how to create a Linux VM then there is a ton of articles available that how you can create a Linux VM. Following a Microsoft, Docs links for creating an Azure Linux VM.

After creating a new Linux VM, the first thing you need to have SSH Client to connect the Azure VM. I have windows machine and Putty is one of most well known SSH client for the windows. So If you don’t have SSH Client download Putty from the following link.
http://www.putty.org/
Once you create a VM you will get any public IP like following.
So copy that public IP and then open Putty and paste the public IP like following.
Now once you are done with it click on open button. It will ask for your username/password. The key thing to remember here when you create Linux VM you have selected username and password. If you have a public key then you need to supply that key to Putty.
Once we got connected, We need to enable the gnome desktop in our Ubuntu Server first we need to get the latest update of it and for that, we need the following command.
Now its time to install remote desktop in the server for that you need to run the following command.

sudo apt-get updatesudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktopNote: Here I have created a Ubuntu server in Azure Linux VM. But you can use any flavour of Linux available in Azure VM. There will be different command for each flavour you can find the complete list at following location- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-linux-classic-remote-desktopOnce you run the command it will take some time for running and installing desktop for the server.
Now its time to install remote desktop in the server for that you need to run the following command.
sudo apt-get install xrdp
Note: Sometime you now allow the remote connection that is because with Azure VM default port is not allowed for remote desktop. So for that goto the following page and do as said to allow remote tcp ip port- https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/virtual-machines/virtual-machines-windows-troubleshoot-rdp-connectionAnd I am able to login to my Azure Linux VM.
