Error during start-up using daemon on Ubuntu about channel

[SharkHunter]

This look s like a generic PMS error as Channels doesn't do anything to the PMS GUI.
This indicates that PMS does some updating of it's GUI something Channels is unaware of.

Channel just happens to be the first plugin being loaded here, I think, and PMS is misconfigured to be in GUI mode. I've never tried headless mode myself, but have a look at the instructions here under "How to run PS3 Media Server in headless mode as service / daemon (easy guide)"

@SharkHunter, @skeptical, Thanks! I've been running headless for about 2 years now, but haven't updated in a while. I noticed there were now some packages for Ubuntu, which I'm using, so perhaps I'll wipe it clean and try fresh with one of those. Cheers.
