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 ProblemType: Bug Architecture: i386 Date: Tue Nov 10 22:08:51 2009 DistroRelease: Ubuntu 9.10 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 9.10 "Karmic Koala" - Release i386 (20091028.5) MachineType: Apple Inc.
