Hello all, I’m trying to flash linux mint to a old thinkpad I’m refurbishing. However, when I go to flash the ISO to the USB, balena etcher throws the following error’s
[23381:0729/101159.717484:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times! [23340:0729/101202.577845:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from ‘GtkFileChooserNative’ to ‘GtkWidget’ [23340:0729/101205.337371:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: …/gobject/gsignal.c:2777: instance ‘0x37b801188b20’ has no handler with id ‘5761’ [23381:0729/101205.693383:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times!
I would like to note I’m flashing this ISO from my main computer running fedora, and I installed balena etcher from an RPM, (Already tried the app image, but it seems that FUSE is acting up).
Thank you in advance!
You must log in or register to comment.
You could use dd like the others suggested or try Ventoy.
I see a lot of praise for Balena Etcher but regardless of what platform I’ve tried to use it on, I have always had issues.
Might give ventoy a try, looks promising.
If Ventoy doesn’t work, you can use Fedora Media Writer. It can be used for flashing other distros.
Just use dd.
Seriously? Getting downvoted for a correct answer?
I don’t remember if it’s the same error, but I also get an error with etcher. If you have to use it, version 1.7.9 works for me.
use dd or “Restore from disk image” in Gnome Disks
