Hello. I am running OS 11.1 with gnome. When I attempt to install Google Earth I get the following error message:
You don’t seem to be running an X server (no DISPLAY set).
Google Earth and its installer both require X11.
Aborting…
As far as I know I am running X11. What’s my next step?
What graphics card do you have and driver?
In a terminal - what happens when you type:
glxgears
geforce4 MX420
nvidia
It gives me the gears!
glxgears
