How do I wake my monitor? I have a mouse, keyboard and monitor plugged directly into the Start9. I leave for a while and my monitor turns off [goes to sleep?]. Using the keyboard or mouse does not wake up the monitor. Touching the power button reboots the server. How can I step away from my computer, return, and pick up where I left off … like we are used to with a PC?
You are using your server in what we call “Kiosk Mode” with a monitor attached directly.
This is only recommended for initial setup or for some specific troubleshooting procedures.
The recommended way to use your StartOS server is to have it connected to your router over an ethernet cable and you access it over a browser from any other device on your network using the unique .local address or remotely using the .onion address.
