[orca-list] System not completely booting because of no screen connected?

[Simon Eigeldinger <simon eigeldinger vol at>]

Hi all,

This is an interesting thing i discovered recently.
I had gnome always running on an old 32 bit laptop.
now i got an older 64 bit desktop.
it has no screen.
i wanted to boot it with a live usb with fedora.
seems not to boot to the desktop.
i have read online and figured out that it can't boot because the x
server is autoconfiguring the screen.
so no screen no booting OS?
Or is there a possibility to get that up and running without a screen
connected?

This by the way is happening to all distros i have tested.
open suse, ubuntu gnome, sonar gnome, fedora workstation, debian
testing, paldo and others.

Greetings,
Simon
