A work around is to install and use a virtual frame buffer. Instructions below with others who have the same requirement:
1) Install xvfb (X Virtual Frame Buffer) sudo apt-get install xvfb 2) Start a virtual frame buffer and switch your terminal onto it. Note the capitalization of Xvfb below, that's not a typo. Xvfb :99 & export DISPLAY=:99 3) Run your batch soundconverter command: soundconverter -b -m "audio/mpeg" -s ".mp3" *.flac -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1690577 Title: Batch mode won't run in headless environment.
