Quick preamble: I have a few smaller systems, older of age and a little dusty sometimes, which I use as servers for some purpose or other. Mostly consisting of hardware I got donated, because XYZ doesn't need it anymore.

I've added a new donation to the landscape, which I decided might make a nice server for calibre. Large storage, 4gigs of RAM, decent processor.

I added the system to my landscape, after installing linux on it (yes, I know... I'm a fanboy, and so forth...)... Tried to start via x-forwarding, hangs, only kill -9 helps.

So, basically, unless I attach a screen (which defeats the headless thing I want to do) or make my way through the CLI for adding new books and manage my devices, I have no way to manage calibre :F

Is there a way to fix that?

Details:

OS - Manjaro Linux (17.02)
Calibre Version - 3.5.0

Everything else works just fine, which is rather odd...
