ROS2 Navigation Run TurtleBot Simulator Error [Solved]

ROS2 galactic Version Install:
Ubuntu (Debian) — ROS 2 Documentation: Galactic documentation

Installing navigation dependency packages (Installation)
https://navigation.ros.org/getting_started/index.html

    1. Install the ROS 2 binary packages as described in the official docs Install the Nav2 packages using your operating system’s package manager:
sudo apt install ros-<ros2-distro>-navigation2
sudo apt install ros-<ros2-distro>-nav2-bringup

Install the Turtlebot 3 packages:

sudo apt install ros-<ros2-distro>-turtlebot3*

Running the Example, step 3 reports an error

    1. Start a terminal in your GUI Set key environment variables:
source /opt/ros/<ros2-distro>/setup.bash
export TURTLEBOT3_MODEL=waffle
export GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH=$GAZEBO_MODEL_PATH:/opt/ros/<ros2-distro>/share/turtlebot3_gazebo/models

In the same terminal, run

ros2 launch nav2_bringup tb3_simulation_launch.py headless:=False

Important Log:
