Is there any booting issues related to HDMI connection?  
I encountered some problems during booting webOS.  
When I try to boot webOS without HDMI connection to display device, some deamons weren't launched and tried to restart infinitely. I attach /var/log/messages screenshot below:

I think that The daemons causing the problem are as follows:

- surface-manager.service
- webapp-mgr.service

They was trying to relaunch itself but failed.  
Because of this situation, I couldn't launch other services like **com.webos.ai.voice.**

However, if boot webOS with HDMI connection to the display device, this situation didn't happen.  
those two deamons successfully launched without any problems. After then com.webos.ai.voice normally launched.

I avoid this problem by just comments the one statement in **/etc/systemd/system/surface-manager.service** and **webapp-mgr.service**

However, I think that this way could cause other problems.

You are correct. When we boot without HDMI, the surface-manager will get crashed due to DRM issue.
