Start Ubuntu 18.04 without graphics card
I set up a Ubuntu Server without any extra packages but openssh-server. Now my goal is to remove the graphics card from the computer because of saving power and preventing heat. The problem is that the server is not starting without a graphics card anymore. I already tried using xserver-xorg-video-dummy
with
Section "Device"
Identifier "Configured Video Device"
Driver "dummy" EndSection Section "Monitor"
Identifier "Configured Monitor"
HorizSync 31.5-48.5
VertRefresh 50-70 EndSection
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Default Screen"
Monitor "Configured Monitor"
Device "Configured Video Device"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Depth 24
Modes "1024x800"
EndSubSection
written to the /etc/X11/xorg.conf
but it had no effect.
EDIT: I can not see where the startup is interrupted because I can not hotplug the graphics card.

Ubuntu Server does not even install X. How did you end up with it?
I run Ubuntu Server on thousands of headless machines, none have a video card, and they all run fine. And none have X installed, of course.
