Details: I first started trying to flash to a Wyse 3040 (2gig, 8gig). I used xunbuntu (trial mode) and the first time I tried it worked great and it flashed from the HA url. But I saw that after I did a restore from my existing HA Rpi, that I had little memory left. So I thought I would install to SSD plugged into a usb. I got the above error. So I tried again to install to the internal memory again and got the error. I downloaded the file and used it directly. Nope. Tried unbunu and linux mint live. Nope.
I was able to burn the mint iso on a usb with etcher, buuuuut i have my doubts that it was done correctly. The installer was really slow and when it finished the pc was performing quite poorly. I ended installing bionicpuppy and it goes like a rocket.
4. Wait for the installation to finish and run Etcher by finding it in the list of your Ubuntu applications. Alternatively, start it by typing balena-etcher-electron in the command line.
In the end I flashed a 16 GB Toshiba MicrSD HC I using etcher, my faith that all will be good, and about 40 hrs of time (Flash Rate 0.1 MB/s as stated by etcher)
This time etcher showed success and the PI powered up and I could proceed with the setup
All right , lets give this a try:
By some reason I lost the micro SD of my CEED.
The CEED is as it was sold thence with a RASPI 3B+
Now I want to use it with the new software version Sirius
(I was not aware of the Pi-Top [1] to [4] until now)
I have brand new 64GB SD cards available and flashed Sirius as of Dec 2020 C781
I noted that using etcher takes a long time, that unpacking the zip file behaves mysteriously slowly. But in the end i was able to flash the sd using dd.
(actually etcher worked out as well, but it told me it would take 2200 minutes to flash.)
I use a laptop running linux mint 20 and the laptop has an sd card port available
Can you let us know what you used?
Image, SD-card make and model, etcher software version, OS software version?
I tried to reproduce issue with the image downloaded from: -pi-raspios32-v1.6.2.img.xz
Installing with etcher 1.5.100 on Linux Mint 20 with a generic 8 GB SD, which went just fine.
