Ed is right. But there might be a messy workaround using the existing LiveOS image. I've never done this, and I haven't used a LiveOS, so these instructions could be completely wrong. After you are booted into the image, switch to a virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F2). I think that you can then login as root with the empty password, but that is from memory of messages on the mailing list. If you can, you can then dnf install the dummy driver, and add the xorg.conf file for it. Since you aren't using actual hardware, you can make the screen 4k for lots of real estate, if you want. Then kill X. You might be able to just logout of the gui desktop (Ctrl-Alt-F1), but that also might shutdown the LiveOS. If logging out doesn't work, you can find the pid of X by using top or ps. After X is no longer running, switch to a different virtual console (Ctrl-Alt-F3), and type startx. This should start X with the dummy screen. A lot of ifs and maybes in there, but it might work. If it does, it would only last while you were up with the current version of the LiveOS. If you rebooted, you would have to go through it all again. Another possibility is building a custom virtual image that does what you want. But I'm even more ignorant there than about LiveOS images. _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
