I have been trying to install balenaEtcher for 2 days but can't get rid of the
following errors :
ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(247)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
[10145:1109/120137.666202:ERROR:env.cc(226)] The platform failed to initialize.

I have tried everything I could find with google searches to no avail. My
$DISPLAY variable is blank which may be the source of the problem.But what
should it contain?
I know that the information I am giving is a bit sketchy but is the best I can
do at this point. There are lots of fixes listed on the internet but none of
them work. I am using the .deb file down loaded from the balena web page and
installing it with dpkg -i .
Any help will be sincerely appreciated.
Try `export DISPLAY=":0.0"`.

I just solved the problem. I was missing 4 dependencies. One must use
the .deb file not the appimage file and run dpkg -I <deb file name> and
install the missing items.
I hope this helps others
Thanks
