I think the Ubuntu package, which you say you use, has its own
convenience config file - something like /etc/defaults/gmediaserver -
and start script to do the same thing easily.

I am not that familiar with Ubuntu or have a version here to check but
maybe you could check any documentation that came with that package?

Hope that helps,
