install problems on ubuntu

I'm trying to get repetier host to install. I followed all the instructions in the readme file. At the end when I try and run I get the following error:

You need a hardware (Software OpenGL seems not to work) OpenGL driver for your linux. The error happens, because no OpenGL was found on your system.

Thanks, I'm not sure what that means. Is there anyway for me to fix it?

That depends on your Hardware. OpenGL is responsible for 3D visualization. You can say it is the 3d driver of your graphic card. Check your graphic card and if a opengl driver is available for that model. If yes install it and retry the host. There is also a software emulation of OpenGL called Mesa which doesn't work with the .NET OpenGL driver, that's why you need a hardware OpenGL solution from you card vendor.

@JD1828: List here what PC hardware you are using. If it is a loptop, give the model number (the product web page would be good too).

The most important thing to know is the model of Graphics adapter in your machine. If we know this, we can determine if there is an Ubuntu Driver with OpenGL support in hardware.

Once you have that, I can show you how to install the driver, if you need.
