Linux [SOLVED] How to build for Ubuntu?

Hello community.

So I bought the Desktop Edition and finally have a 64bit machine to run it on.

I'm having issues building for Ubuntu however.

The problem is I'm having issues connecting to Ubuntu over the network.

With this info it works just fine as of GameMaker: Studio 1.4.x
Host Name: ubuntu
User Name: samuel
Password: ******
Click to expand...
But in GameMaker Studio 2.x it requires the new "Display Name" field:
Display Name: ????
Host Name: ubuntu
User Name: samuel
Password: ******
Click to expand...
What do I put for the "Display Name"?

How do I get the "Display Name" for my Ubuntu?

Thanks in advance.
Samuel

Edit:

Turns out I can just use the same thing under "User Name" for "Display Name". Problem solved.

Display Name is just a name that will be shown in the device list within GMS2 - it can be anything that you want to put in for that device.

This means that you can setup multiple machines and change between them easily across all the targets.
