Hi all, 

It turns out that latest Ubuntu desktop OSes cannot boot without a monitor 
plugged in to the machine, so this happens with the LIVA X box as well. Did 
anyone find a working solution for this? I might just move on to using Debian 
7 Wheezy, which I assume will not have this problem, but I just wanted to 
check if anyone was successful with this matter with Ubuntu before I try 
Debian 7. 

FYI, 
This seems to be a known problem:
"Q: Ubuntu can’t boot up without monitor plugged to LIVA MINI PC”
http://www.ecs.com.tw/ECSWebSite/Product/Product_LIVA_FAQ.aspx?DetailID=1593&LanID=0

I tried to solve this problem by following links and using all suggestions I 
can find on the web, including (but not limited to):
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1223504
http://askubuntu.com/questions/166009/use-ubuntu-graphical-desktop-without-monitor-at-boot

However, all methods did not work for me.. 

Using Ubuntu *Server* OS would be one solution, but I had installation 
problems with that, which I did post about it on this mailing list before. 
(problem: installation process fails to recognize the eMMC storage space) 


Thanks, 
Joon
