OK – my problem is solved. This had nothing to do with NoMachine NX. The graphics card in the machine just stops working when no monitor is attached, which can be ok for a desktop computer (although I find it difficult to think of a reasonable scenario where one would deattach the monitor for a longer time in a desktop environment…). I used this solution to build a dummy monitor plug with 3x 68 Ohm resitors and I have the X-Environment up and runnning!

Hi – this is a normal installation running Ubuntu GNOME flavor with gdm as display manager. It ist not a headless system – I only try to run it without a monitor attached. I just reinstalled everything and right now I am experiencing the behaviour, that I get a login screen with Nomachine from remote when I leave the monitor attached. Running the machine without monitor I do not get a login screen from remote. It seems that this may be a problem with the graphics configuration  being unable to run without an attached monitor – but maybe you have suggestions on this?

Great, thanks for the update! Your new version makes me consider returning to Linux as my primary work OS which I discarded because I was missing the feature to resume my session on the console from remote! Once you have this feature I am ready to go!
