Visual Studio remote debugging application hosted

Question

I'm trying to debug remotely an application that's being hosted on Linux

"Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie)"

with

.NET Command Line Tools (2.1.500)

I'm connecting via Visual Studio via SSH

and I've tried both modes:

• Managed .NET Core for Unix

• Native (GDB)

Project has been compiled on Windows

dotnet publish --configuration Release -r linux-x64

and also

dotnet publish --configuration Debug -r linux-x64

and works perfectly fine, but for some reason I'm receiving:

Managed .NET Core for Unix:

Fail to attach to process: Unable to enumerate running instances of the CoreCLR in the specific process

---

And if that's relevant (probably not, because other people use Managed .NET Core for Unix for that)

Native (GDB): Unable to start debugging. Unable to estabilish a connection to GDB. Debug output may containt more information

debug information:

Starting unix command: 'gdb --interpreter=mi'
bash: gdb: command not found
gdb --interpreter=mi exited with code 127.

---

In Visual Studio process is listed as:

Process: MyProjectName

Title: /home/deploy/app/MyProjectName StartUpArgument

Anybody has an idea what can cause that?

You can see how people do that with Raspberry Pi here:

Answer 2

Apparently our stupidity is limitless

We've been running our app as a service but FROM OTHER USER ACCOUNT THAN WAS USED IN SSH

Connecting to process works properly, but for some reason
