GUI not working with VNC and Monitor not connected
tombert:
Hi all,
I successfully setup MC in Ubuntu 16 LTS with autologin and starting MC.
All works fine as long as a I have a monitor connected. But when unplugging the monitor and continue working via VNC all the menus won't pop up. The application itself shows normally, I can click on the panes etc. and see all my files but e.g. when right clicking on a file no menu appears. Similar with the top menus like File, Edit, View, etc. no menu appears.
Would it be possible that somebody confirms this behaviour?
thx

I don't have that setup however what usually happens on intel PC's in that case is that the XServer resolution is somewhat undefined. What we've seen people do is either put a hardware plug onto the output (VGA or DVI are easier) or run a dummy XServer and configuration files to make it look like it's got a 1920x108 display connected.
tombert:
The default X-Server is running. Simply no monitor connected which causes it to switch to 800x600 on boot. By using xrandr one can change resolution if wanted.
There is no special setup, tricks or whatsoever ...
bob:
Interesting....
So if you set 800x600 WITH a monitor attached, does it work then?
tombert:
I saw that my title was wrong - should read "... and Monitor NOT connected"
Yes exactly. I re-verified again.
If I connect a monitor, I am able to open menus etc. normally through either the keyboard attached to the server or also through VNC.
As soon as I disconnect the monitor and control the server via VNC only, the menus do not work. Other applications still work fine.
thx
