Friends,

I am totally new to Ubuntu but I want to use it on an old computer of mine to run Plex Media Server to stream movies to my Chromecast. I have managed to install everything and it was all working fine during my testings. I am going to place the server in my basement and I want to remote control it by using RealVNC. I have installed it on both my Ubuntu machine and my regular laptop running Windows 8. It's was all working smooth, until I disconnected the monitor from the Ubuntu machine. Seems like Ubuntu want a monitor connected!

I have googled around and tried some tips with editing the xorg.conf file. Without success.

Somebody help?
