Hey @BrianGG1UK
My version of etcher auto-updated in the background to 1.10.6. Since it is unlikely we will be able to do a root cause analysis on your install. I would now fully recommend the uninstall and reinstall path.

Hi there,
until we fix the new versions you can still use the 1.7.9 which works on 32bit systems (like your windows 7)
Download it from the original source on github: Release v1.7.9 balena-io/etcher GitHub
especially the files
Download Balena Etcher 1.18.11 Latest Version for Windows, macOS, and Linux. For Linux and Windows users, the software is available in 32-bit and 64-bit. Explore downloads for Balena Etcher by clicking on the button given below.
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.
Etcher can be used on a computer running Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads.Other operating systems: The latest Etcher version from 2023 is also available for Mac.
Yes. It can run on a PC with Windows 11 or Windows 10. Previous versions of the OS shouldn't be a problem with Windows 8 and Windows 7 having been tested. It comes in both 32-bit and 64-bit downloads.Other operating systems: The latest Etcher Portable version from 2023 is also available for Mac.
If balena-etcher requires a policykit program to be installed, did you check if policykit is installed or running at all?
sudo apt install policykit-1-gnome
And enabling policykit-1-gnome to start at session login, edit /.desktop-session/startup and un-comment the line:
I just tested on live USB of antiX-19-x64-full and the balena etcher x64 appimage works perfectly out of the box without any changes to anything at all.
Runs when clicked and runs when executed in the terminal.
i am new to using the AUR and have only used git clone in the past of some repositories that were on the source WIKI, do you have a tutorial on installing PKGBUILD with the etcher-bin files?
i tried downloading the 64bit Appimage but i get a execvp exec format error at the header of the Dolphin File Manager, Thanks for your Recommendation.
I'm not sure why etcher now worked flawlessly compared to my dry-run in April 2020. Last try, I was using etcher on a Windows PC and now on Ubuntu. Not sure whether that was the reason. Anyways, usbimager is available on various systems (Windows, Linux, etc.).
If the file has ddfull in the filename, it is a gzip'd image of the entire device. I don't remember if etcher can automatically extract gzip or not but I think it can. You should use usbimager anyway and I know it can. You really should test the scenario and write to a secondary SD card so you know what to do instead of trying to figure it out when something fails in a panic.
Hi!
I'm trying to install Batocera on a USB device but am running into a major problem. The system simply refuses to boot.
I used etcher to burn the image for 64 bit computers on a USB hard drive, I reboot with the boot from USB option preferred in the BIOS and all I get is a blinking cursor. I tried putting it on a USB stick (32gb). Same problem. I tried burning the 32 bit version the same way. Same problem.
To check if the issue was with the computer, I used a stick with Puppy Linux installed on it and it boots no problem...
So what could be the problem?
The computer is an HP with an Intel Core2 Duo. I have plenty of ram and currently run Windows 10...
Hi all,
i got the same issue than you.
I have an HP 6000 Pro as main Linux PC.
I tried to install Batocera on a HP dc7900. I've burned the img with etcher on USB Stick but not enable to boot on it.
I tested the USB stick on Laptop Lenovo, and old EEpc with success.
I tried to with Lakka & Recalbox and i got the same issue.
I updated the Bios to version 1.27 Rev. A. and the ME Firmware to 2.2.20.1039 Rev. B.
Still the issue, and i got a flashback from my windows years when i was trying to boot an a specifique disque, on windows we need to mark the Partition Bootable.
So in Xubuntu, with gnome-disk-utility i set the partition bootable.
And i tried with the USB Rear panel, seems for me that the USB Front Panel do not work very well.
