I downloaded and installed Etcher without any problems, in order to create a Linux boot SD drive. But when I tried to flash the .iso file, Etcher said:
Attention
Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted.
User did not grant permission.
I checked the developer info:

I next whitelisted Etcher, but it made no difference.
Appreciate any suggestions!
Cheers.
