ISO file of Linux not loading and Balena Crashing #4278

Open AARUSH-VINOD opened 4 months ago

AARUSH-VINOD commented 4 months ago

Etcher version: 1.19.21
Operating system and architecture: Windows 11 x64
Image flashed: LINUX UBUNTU operating system image file
What do you think should have happened: I don't know the reason why it did that
What happened: I uploaded an ISO file of Linux ubuntu on Balena but the Flash from file option either gets stuck or if I try another way it crashes with a white background together with the whole OS and other programs on it

Having the same issue

I am also having the same problem--balenaEtcher gets suck after I select "flash from file" and choose my ISO file. I still have the option to click "flash from URL" or "clone drive", but otherwise the program is stuck.

Also freezes when I try to flash from URL

Hi folks! I was also having this issue on a Windows 11 box. I resolved the problem by installing the Visual C++ redistributable- I've confirmed this bug now on two devices.

Assuming you're up-to-date on x64 Windows 11, winget might solve your problem with this command:

winget install Microsoft.VCRedist.2015+.x64

You may also be able to get the redistributable from the Microsoft website, but when I test Windows I try to stick to winget for this sort of thing, so I'm not sure where that comes from.

I hope that helps- assuming it's the missing dependency it would be nice if BalenaEtcher could fail and warn you to install the missing components.

I am having the same issue also on Windows 10. However, the issue subsided when following the above recommendation of installing Visual C++ but additionally I had to install Node.js in order for it to work.

Also worked for me on Win10

Great fix, worked for me on Win10. Thank you!
