I have been trying to install the balenaEtcher software package balenaEtcher-1.18.11-x64.AppImage for 2 days without success. I keep getting the following error:

ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(247)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
[10145:1109/120137.666202:ERROR:env.cc(226)] The platform failed to initialize.  Exiting


You currently are running on Wayland. You need to install X11 because the app can not run on Wayland.

sudo apt install xwayland
 

I have been searching the internet for solutions and have found many listings but none of them work. My $DISPLAY variable is empty which may be the source of the problem but what should it hold? I am using the .deb file downloaded from the balena web sight. Sorry if this information is a bit sketchy but is the best I can do at this point.

Any help on this problem will be sincerely appreciated. i really need a package that can handle burning .iso files to SD cards and this seems to be the best out there.
