Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: usplash

My machine cannot boot without a monitor plugged in. On my old pc I
never had trouble starting or rebooting ubuntu without a monitor plugged
in and it's a real hassle to have to plug one in just so I can boot or
restart Ubuntu.

Steps to reproduce:
1. type sudo reboot  or power down mac mini and then power back on without 
monitor connected
2. Wait 5-10 minutes and notice that power light is on
3. attempt to ping machine notice "host is down" message

Try it several times, same result

Fix:
1. plugin a monitor
2 power up machine or reboot
3. Ubuntu starts normally
