Solved: Re: Possible to run headless? - Page 2

Has anyone succeeded in running AMT systems headless, with no monitor cable attached?

Noticed that when there is no monitor cable connected, I do not get any visual with the KVM-over-IP either.

Once I do connect the monitor cable the missing visual appears instantly.

I do can access the BIOS and GRUB with kvm-over-ip, so might be a (Debian) Linux only issue.

(it's not the standard screen blanker. pressing a key doesn't solve it)

Micred,

The basic issue is that without something being plugged into a video port, the on board GPU gets shut down. Since the GPU is not displaying anything, all you get is a blank screen. You can use a display port or HDMI display emulator to resolve the issue you are seeing.

Gosh! from 2012 to 2024 it seems we still need this... I'm facing the same issue.

May be its time since the typical edge use cases would require an headless setup.

Please suggest if there has been some break throughs or workarounds that probably have fixed this issue
