How to run Ubuntu with Desktop Environment and Auto-Login without a display

Raw

Cuz auto-login on Gnome without a display just doesn't work fsr...

sudo nano /etc/default/grub

Update the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable in this file to have one of the display connectors always active.

ls /sys/class/drm/ # shows a list of available display connectors prefixed with 'card-'

Pick any one and update the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT variable like so:

# ...
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash video=HDMI-A-1:1366x768e"
# ...

Here, e = enabled and 1366x768 is the connected display resolution

Then run:

sudo update-grub

Then reboot. Done!
