If that test above (and others) require a GUI session you'll probably have to create \
one over VNC; I don't see how java web start would help (unless it provides a VNC \
channel). I cannot check right now (Bradley's "macports" VM is unreachable), but IIRC \
Qt5 applications can be started over a separate SSH connection regardless of whether \
the user's GUI session is actually connected to anything. If the CI machine (another \
one of Bradley's VMs, no?) only serves for this, you could consider letting the CI \
user auto-login after boot, that way the session ought to be available always.
