So one of the things I have been fighting for a while is being able to remote access my server running Ubuntu w/GUI without display output. I used to have no issues at all and all the sudden one day things changed. At first and still to this day (been working and failing at this for over a year) I thought it was a driver issue, fixed and reinstalled drivers, I went so far as to completely wipe the server and start fresh during Christmas, I have updated the drivers for the crappy GTX 580 (I think is what is in there) and still. I can only access and use my server if there is a display output attached to the server, otherwise I get what you can see in the video. I have asked numerous professors at my college and not a single one has any freaking clue what could cause this. I found out there are some systems that do not allow access to a display output without outputting that display to a monitor, this wouldnt account for the 6 months I had with no issues though. I have tried TeamViewer and VNC Viewer and no luck with either. Would love any ideas or help. IMG_8390.MOV

Obtain a placeholder connector for one of the screen output ports on your graphics card.
