I installed and ran Etcher on Ubuntu Linux 22.04.4 LTS like this:
unzip balenaEtcher-linux-x64-1.19.21.zip
cd balenaEtcher-linux-x64
./balena-etcher
I chose the ISO (its checksum is correct) and the flash drive, then clicked on “Flash”. I received the following error message:
Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted.
Connection to etcher-util failed
How can I fix this problem?
I had a similar problem. I have a new installation of Lubuntu 22.04 (LXDE version of Ubuntu). I downloaded the zip file, uncompressed it and changed the file chrome-sandbox to root, and chmod to 4755. I got this error. The AppImage does not work, even after installing fuse.
The solution was to go to URL Etcher - Browse /v1.19.25 at SourceForge.net; Download: balena-etcher_1.19.25_amd64.deb (110.3 MB). Then execute:
Then go to the GUI Menu > Accessories > balenaEtcher {add password}. This worked for me!
