I'll echo Epoch's comment: ditch running any sort of a gui on a headless server as soon as you're comfortable doing so. And yes, the Xorg process is at the base of the gui. I'm not sure about how it works with Ubuntu, but with Fedora, you can always start the gui from the command prompt with the "startx" command.
Regarding your WOL problem: I'm really very sorry, but totally gave up on getting WOL to work consistently with EPIA boards. I made it my mission in life for more than a month to get it working...trying different nic drivers...everything...all to no avail. Ultimately, I think it comes down to some sort of nic driver bug. I was able to get to a point where I could WOL the EPIA system from S3, -but successfully only every other time.- Otherwise, it ignored the WOL packet. It's possible that someday the VIA people or someone will fix the driver. Certainly, enough folks have complained about it and enough bug reports have been filed. But I gave up waiting and moved on to atom based systems. Sometime next month I'll be giving away four EPIA boards for "free" to anyone who's willing to pay shipping. I'm sorry that I can't be of any help or encouragement with this problem. I ended up feeling like the EPIA boards were nothing but time-vampires. -- gharris999 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ gharris999's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=115 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=48521 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
