Can only get display on client machine if a monitor is plugged into server

[M1ndf1r3]

This is annoying me a touch, nothing I do seems to correct it.

I have tried Terminating the GDM service as detailed in another post to try and get NoMachine to generate its own display but all I get is “Failed to stop gdm.service: Unit gdm.service not loaded.”

The client machine is running a fully up to date Windows 10 installation with the latest version of NoMachine

The server machine is running Linux Mint 19.1 64bit XFCE edition – Fully up to date on all packages.

If i have any kind of monitor plugged into the server, NoMachine will start a remote desktop session perfectly. If i unplug the monitor (as this is supposed to be a headless media server behind furniture) all i get when trying to start a remote desktop session is a black screen, no log on errors, just a black screen after connecting.

This is a repeatable issue and happens consistently every time.
