Unable to run etcher #3178

Open GerBreOwn opened 4 years ago

GerBreOwn commented 4 years ago

Downloaded and extracted balena-etcher-electron-1.5.93-linux-x64.zip to balenaEtcher-1.5.93-x64.Appimage. Not able to run that program. I also did the echo to the "/apt/sources.list" and then updated "apt" and did "sudo apt-get install balena-etcher-electron". Still can NOT get etcher to run. I have previously used ETCHER for many years without any problems. Looks like this new version has problems. Thanks.

@GerBreOwn If you run it from the console, what logs do you see? Is there any error?

balenaEtcher-1.5.94-x64.AppImage: 19: balenaEtcher-1.5.94-x64.AppImage: Syntax error: Unterminated quoted string is the error I get when attempting to run etcher from the command line

@displaced1 what's the command you run? It may be that you forgot to close a string running from command line (i.e. you forgot an ending quote)

Download, make sure it's set to execute then click on it in file explorer. Open at the command line with sh ./file name and I get the error you see.

Etcher isn't a script, you shouldn't be running it with sh :wink:
