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

[Simon Eigeldinger <simon eigeldinger vol at>]

Hi Jason,

The Console works fine.
no problems.
i also have tried sonar mate edition which works pretty well with the
july 2016 dvd.
though it seems to not work when updating the system.
I haven't tried recent ubuntu mate yet though.

I actually don't want to install debian on that system though.
So i wonder if we could do something with kernel boot options or
something else.

Greetings,
Simon
