Etcher validation fails
Closed this issue · 1 comments
What Happened?
I'm trying to flash a USB stick with the latest ISO. elementaryos-6.1-stable.20211218-rc.iso. But Balena Etcher is giving the following error after it's validation step:
Attention
Something went wrong. If it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted.Cannot read property 'message' of null
I've verified the checksum as mentioned here:
https://elementary.io/docs/installation#verify-your-download
I've tried:
- Retry
- Downloading iso both as regular download and magnet
- 2 different USB sticks
Balena Etcher is installed as app image
Normally I would have also tried imageburner, but that's not released for Odin yet.
Very similar, but old and unanswered stackexchange question:

Steps to Reproduce
- Install Balena Etcher
- Download elementaryos-6.1-stable.20211218-rc.iso
- Try flashing to USB Stick
Expected Behavior
Image is flashed successfully
OS Version
6.x (Odin)
Software Version
Older release (I have not run all updates)
Log Output
No response
Hardware Info

I was just able to flash on a different computer, running OS X. Maybe this was caused in some way by my OS install. I will try again after a reinstall.
