code hangs when running in headless mode

[mathildecaron31]

Hi,
I'm trying to run examples/demo/play_husky_camera.py with headless mode. I don't have X server running on my machine.
I specify in the configuration file:

display_ui: false
mode: headless

The code hangs here:

GibsonEnv/gibson/core/render/pcrender.py

Line 350 in adfee95

self.socket_mist.send_string(s)

I get the following output before it hangs:

Hi mathildecaron31,

In my opinion, headless mode and ui:false are not suitable choices for "play_husky_camera.py" You can use this configuration in train mode.

Have a nice day.
