Hi, I’ve been trying to use Balena Etcher on my Arch install to write a variety of images including (2019-09-26-raspbian-buster-lite.img or DietPi_v6.25_RPi-ARMv6-Buster.img) but I keep getting en error message “something went wrong. if it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not…

@stdcerr I wanted to circle back and let you know I’ve fixed up and pushed the AUR package balena-etcher, so it should be fully functional on the latest available version once again. Thanks for the report, if you have any further issues please feel free to ping me on the package itself (here: https…

Hi @stdcerr & @cpu_12 and welcome to the balena forums! I maintain the balena-etcher package in the AUR ( https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/balena-etcher/ ) and have just pushed a downgrade to pin the package to 1.5.60 for now, which I’ve confirmed to be working. I need to investigate what’s changed…

Hi @Johny , and welcome to the forums. This looks like a different issue, and there is a similar issue reported here: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2859 . I’ve reproduced this issue with the AppImage version on Ubuntu 19.10 running Etcher 1.5.68. If you use the deb version, then it works.…

Hi. Looks like you are running version 1.5.61. Could you try either downgrading to 1.5.60 by reinstalling the package from the AUR, or replacing it with the etcher-bin package? Either of those should work.

Yes, great! I just updated my AURs with yay -Syyu and it succesfully downloaded and downgraded to Etcher 1.5.60 which works like a charm! Excellent, Thank you!

Good to hear that Etcher works fine now @stdcerr : )

To solve the problem, just right-click the software (i.e. balenaEtcher) and run it as administrator on Windows PC.
