Heads up that you might need to do sudo chmod 4755 /opt/balenaEtcher/chrome-sandbox, the following log appeared in my xorg-session.log (edit: also shows up when you run etcher command in terminal)

[122759:1129/120715.671565:FATAL:setuid_sandbox_host.cc(158)] The SUID sandbox helper binary was found, but is not configured correctly. Rather than run without sandboxing I'm aborting now. You need to make sure that /opt/balenaEtcher/chrome-sandbox is owned by root and has mode 4755.

Etcher simply won't run without the change.

hey @khalil2535 I think you are commenting on a wrong page, this package is not cloning the git repo

Heads-up for the persons who care about privacy: https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2497 https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2766

tl;dr: Use https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/usbimager/ or something else instead of etcher if you care about your privacy.

Hello there, I am pretty much aware of etcher being updated, but as you can see here http://imgur.com/gallery/zpwhQZ9 there are three releases in last 24 hours, I usually wait for it to be at least one or two days to make sure it's stable, and also you don't download the package each and every hour. So please do not flag out of date immediately after a new release on github, I get an email by default from github on new releases.

I have rechecked the binary of etcher again and changed the dependencies based on it on 1.5.79, hope dependency problems to be solved.

Hey @donbex I checked all binary dependencies for the etcher but there is no dependancy on polkit, although I don't know is that even possible to have no polkit installed? even lightdm is depending on it, so, can you not have a display manager and use etcher? Can you give me the output of ldd /opt/balenaEtcher/balena-etcher-electron.bin ? put it on Pastebin or something and give me a link, thanks.

Etcher fails without a polkit agent installed (e.g. when running a WM like XMonad):

/opt/balenaEtcher/resources/app.asar/node_modules/resin-corvus/src/resin-corvus.js:233 {"stack":"Error: No polkit authentication agent found\n    at Object.exports.createError (file:///opt/balenaEtcher/resources/app.asar/generated/gui.js:1577:17)\n    at Object.exports.createUserError (file:///opt/balenaEtcher/resources/app.asar/generated/gui.js:1616:18)\n    at file:///opt/balenaEtcher/resources/app.asar/generated/gui.js:8596:22","message":"No polkit authentication agent found","description":"Please install a polkit authentication agent for your desktop environment of choice to continue","report":false,"image":"archlinux-2020.01.01-x86_64.iso"}

Polkit should be added as a dependency, although I am not entirely sure of the best way to do so. Since they don't seem to have a common provides field, one could either add the agents from the polkit wiki page as optdepends, or maybe just add polkit as a dependency.

@flying-sheep thanks for bringing it on, it's removed now
