(Solved) Ubuntu running headless - won't boot (low graphics mode hangs)
Hi,
Ok here's the problem and it's been driving me nuts for about 4 hours last night. I've searched google and ubuntuforum but can't seem to find a solution as yet. Hope someone can help!
I have Ubuntu 8.10 desktop installed, I've set up a static ip and can connect to the machine from another machine on my lan via ssh or vnc. This works fine when a screen is attached to the Ubuntu machine.
The problem is that if I shutdown the ubuntu machine, disconnect the monitor and reboot - the machine stops at "ubuntu is running in low graphics mode" (I found this out by reconnecting a monitor). The boot process won't proceed until I click "ok".
The question - how do I get Ubuntu to boot with no monitor connected?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Doogs.
