Just trying to create flash from iso. What should be done? [balena1]

Today I think that *.iso is bad, as if I use UUI to create a boot-flash, then I get the same kind of error during flash usage. вс, 18 авг. 2024 г. в 10:17, mrfoxesite via balenaForums < notifications@balena.discoursemail.com >:

That’s what I did :slight_smile: вс, 18 авг. 2024 г. в 11:00, mrfoxesite via balenaForums < notifications@balena.discoursemail.com >:

Me too. Trying to flash the latest Ubuntu version, from Windows 11. It must be the Windows platform.

Had the same issue. Closed balenaEtcher, rerun but as Administrator this time and voila… [image]

Doesn’t work - administrator, compatabilty mode etc… just doesn’t work … Hey Balenda morons what a joke this issue is arround since August - it is October - no fix ? What a garbage soft with garbage support - Hey morrons at Ubuntu this is exactly why your os is not for on the level with normal softw…

It does work on Win 11 Home and Win 11 Pro but it’s flaky - I’ve had that error message too. Rebooted, and in one case where that didn’t work, reinstalled the balenaEtcher software. Was then able to create the .iso boot USB. Strange.

You literally need to give it administrator rights thanks for the answer

same thing happened to me as well opened the app in administration and it worked like magic. Thank you guys @WesMax

I got the same error using balenaEtcher-1.19.25-x64.AppImage with Linux. Going back to balenaEtcher-1.18.11-x64.AppImage solved the problem for me. Just dropping this note for users not running Windows…

Can confirm that this exact thing happens to me on the latest windows 11 version when trying to flash. I tried several different linux distro isos but they are all the same things.
