Etcher using GTK+2 on sudo, and GTK+3 otherwise

• Etcher version: 1.0.0_1-1
• Operating system and architecture: 4.9.33-1-MANJARO(KDE)
• Image flashed: Qubes-R3.2-x86_64.iso

Etcher is working properly in direct “etcher” input in command line. But there are the two major issues I am facing when I try to run “sudo etcher”. I wanted to try this because etcher needs root permission anyway.

But, then when I try to select an image instead of kdialog, gdialog pops up. then, image flashing gets stuck at some point. From terminal I am seeing some repeating errors. They are:

(etcher:29851): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_n_channels: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed

(etcher:29851): GdkPixbuf-CRITICAL **: gdk_pixbuf_get_pixels_with_length: assertion 'GDK_IS_PIXBUF (pixbuf)' failed

Etcher has become a worthy replacement of rufus in linux for me. Hope this can help it someway.

I have good news, usb booted, so you guys are clear. I think i will wait out a bit because electron will be gtk3 soon. This ought to fix the problem.

i can’t mount my usb

That’s probably because of something like https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/blob/master/docs/USER-DOCUMENTATION.md#flashing-ubuntu-isos

If the validation completed without reporting any errors, then that means that Etcher did its job correctly, so I guess the problem here must be something to do with the ArchLinux version, which was created by a 3rd party rather than us. So I’ll close this issue again, and I suggest you file a bug against the ArchLinux package of Etcher.
