+When you are trying to get Vivado Remote Connections working on Ubuntu, you might have an issue to establish the connection.
+This can be easily solved by adding a symlink to your bash, called sh. You can do this for example using the following commands:
+
+```bash
+$ mkdir -p ~/.local/bin
+$ ln -s /bin/bash ~/.local/bin/sh
+```
+
+Thanks to ole2 for providing this solution in the xilinx forum, which you can find here:

+As he points out, this seem to be a bug in Vivado.
+I had this issue in Vivado 2016.4 and Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
