  • I’m trying to run a headless Minecraft server, but I didn’t know the terminal well enough to run the server without the GUI. When I unplug the monitor from the computer though, I lose the video in my VNC viewer too. Windows would run the desktop all the time, even without a monitor connected, but it looks like the default behavior in Linux is to shut it down when there’s nothing connected. I’ve been trying to find workarounds to make the computer think I have a monitor plugged in all afternoon, but none of the things I’ve tried are working.

    On the other hand, after 4 hours of trying things, I figured out the terminal well enough to start the server over SSH, so the outcome is the same I guess
