Desktop session without monitor at boot on Precise (12.04) [on hold]
I have a computer running Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS (precise) that is inside a machine which may or may not have a monitor attached at boot.
- If the monitor is present during boot, then it displays my autologin user's desktop session.
- If the monitor is not present during boot, then plugging it in will show an image of horizontal dots (which I believe is just a background).
In both cases, my autologin user's session begins and I can access it over VNC (vino-server). But in the latter case, I can only use VNC to access the session.
When the monitor is always present, the o/s Display settings page shows "normal" values (lower half), but if it is plugged in later, the Display settings page values remain blank (upper half) despite the fact there is output:
Is there a way to ensure the desktop session appears on VGA, even if a
monitor is attached later? I've found several answers related to no video at all, but none address what I see here.
Yes I have sudo access, but no this machine is an island. No
apt, no upgrades.
