Title: Ubuntu headless + Nvidia + TeamViewer
Post by: lordvek on August 02, 2018, 12:58:01 PM
Hi everyone!

Could someone guide me in these issues -
I have Xenial Ubuntu on a remote mining setup and

1. if I connect via Teamviewer without a monitor attached I have very low resolution ("small window").
If I connect with an attached monitor, the resolution is ok.

2. if I reinstall Nvidia drivers, I just can't connect via Teamviewer if the setup is headless. Sometimes
reinstalling teamviewer helps, sometimes I have to make a clean install

No problem of the kind with an analogous AMD GPU setup.

I've read a lot of posts in different sources and what they offer is either a dummy monitor plug, or
making a "fake monitor" the in system config. The latter does not help me and not that I'm that greedy
to buy a fake plug, but if there is a working software solution I'd be glad to know it :)

Here is the plug.

I have about 12 of them. They work fine. It says it is 4k, it is not. But who wants 4k over remote desktop...

If the wait time is not an issue. Give Aliexpress a try.
