Hello all. I have Etcher successfully installed on Kubuntu 19.04.
I have also flashed the latest version of Manjaro Linux to my virgin USB stick.
When I reboot and boot from the USB all the screen shows is one word : Grub.
The fan goes crazy and I have to hard boot as no key stroke shows any reaction.
I have had the same result with netrunner-linux-rolling.iso
Does anyone have an idea of what is going on here?
Thanks for any help
Cheers
Fred
Hi @fintanusa welcome to the forums! Do you see the same behaviour when flashing a different linux distribution, for example ubuntu? Can you try with a different USB stick and see if you have a different result
HI and thank you for that. I had already successsfuly flashed Kubunutu and debian based netrunner in the past and did it again today. So, that works. Does Etcher have issues with arch based distros? I also tried contacting on the Manjero and netrunner forums but no reaction at all for 4 weeks. Mmmmm…
@fintanusa no, Etcher only writes the disk image to the USB stick. If it works with dd it should work with Etcher.
Hi @fintanusa ,
As my colleague has said, if it works with dd (or another flashing application) it should definitely work with Etcher. Have you tried any other distributions or versions?
grub is a bootloader which is used to boot Linux for these distributions, and it sounds like there may be an issue with the written distributions.
Best regards,
