I'm kinda lost. I usually use rufus, but I did some shenanigans where using rufus caused problems. I did them on my laptop so I had to download the etcher on my main pc. Thing is, when googled it, both of these websites popped up as official. I'm now confused as to which one is the real one. Can you guys please help?
What did I do wrong here? just putting a linux iso onto a flash using etcher. Both times it completes the flash sucessfully, but doesn't actually work as a boot drive. windows shows a drive letter when it is connected, but detects no media, no combination of formating or disk management does anything or brings anything back. How did i mess up so badly?
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.
If it's NOT in a sub-folder of your home directory, then it's probably listed as root - in which case, like @ambark said, you would have to open a terminal, and run the command for etcher with sudo in front.
Etcher is offered through the Arch User Repository and can be installed on both Manjaro and Arch systems. You can compile it from the source code in this repository using balena-etcher. The following example uses a common AUR helper to install the latest release:
Also noteworthy is that most manjaro editions already come with an application that can write bootable isos. For example, gnome edition comes with gnome-disks and popsicle, both of which are better than etcher.
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.
Not sure if this is a problem but the last few times I used etcher to flash OctoPi to an SD card it's been finishing but giving an error saying "1 Failed Device" with some other info about checsums not matching. This is with multiple SD cards.
The Oxford III-V Etcher (Ox-35) is an inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) reactive ion etcher (RIE), designed for etching III-V semiconductors. The Oxford III-V Etcher is currently approved to etch GaAs, InGaAs, InAs, InP, InGaAsP, GaP and Si only.
This is a general point about historical tendencies, but it matters on a more local level as well. Browsing through the entries in this catalogue, the reader will discover that the greatest etchers of the early modern period have familiar names. They are familiar because historians of art continue to write largely in a biographical mode, dwelling on a group of exceptional individuals who worked in high-status fields like painting. That these figures are so well known, however, only makes it all the more remarkable that etchings by painters, with a few very prominent exceptions, have remained so little in evidence. The printed works that painters made usually exist in multiples; they are accessible in many collections and relatively easy to view firsthand. It is tempting to conclude, then, that the absence of works like those featured here in many of the most thoughtful monographic studies of the artists who made them stems from a half-knowing neglect.
The Unaxis Shuttleline DSEII deep silicon etcher is an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) etching system used for etching deep features in silicon. The tool uses a fast switching Bosch process that produces smooth sidewall profiles while etching silicon up to 15 µm per minute. The manual load system can accommodate substrates ranging from 150 mm diameter wafers down to small pieces.
