Etcher version:1.7.9

Image flashed:wic.bz2
What do you think should have happened:cannot handle bz2 compression.
What happened:do not boot main image.

Sounds similar to #3138 ?

johanlantz1 commented 2 years ago

Yes, and now 2 years later is this still an issue?

I am also running into troubles with .wic.bz2 files Etcher version: 1.14.3 Operating system and architecture: linux, x86-64 Image flashed: wic.bz2 (size: 240mb compressed, >8gb uncompressed) What do you think should have happened: correctly flashed to sd-card What happened: etcher starts hanging at 5% and crashes after a while. The .wic.bz2 file is generated with yocto using the raspberrypi layer.

However it seems to be working with smaller image sizes

Same here in 2024...

With 1.19.25 (MacOS Sequoia 15.1.1, Apple M1), I am seeing bz2 decompression stall at 63%. When I use bzunzip2 on the command line there are no issues with the extracted wic file. I had no problems with an earlier version, but I do not remember what the version was (probably installed within the last year).
