Using Etcher on a fully updated Solus Budgie system (Etcher version 1.18.13) I get an error when trying to flash an .iso to usb - "Error Opening Source - Something went wrong when trying to open <source>.iso - Error: requestMetadata is not a function."

On the balena-io/etcher github site the same error message is listed as issue #4138 for Kubuntu 23.10, and the workaround used in that instance is to remove gconf dependencies when building Etcher.

Just pointing out that the error is reported on the Etcher github, but not sure if the same workaround would apply in Solus.

I downloaded the Etcher AppImage from their website, which is version 1.18.11. I was able to flash the .iso to my usb drive without any errors.

Thank you, --TonyK.

    tonyk I can confirm this behaviour. As soons as I have chosen an ISO for flashing, I get the same error:

    @tonyk Can I kindly ask you to open an issue for this on our dev tracker with all the info you have given in your post here including maybe a link to the thread on the balena-io/etcher github site. For reference you can also mention this forum thread we are currently writing in in the issue on the dev tracker.

    Harvey Will be in next sync.

    The last time I used Etcher, the password prompt was _still_l opening behind the Etcher window, and was covered up almost too quickly to notice. I've gotten used to that, so I always move the Edcher window so I can access the password prompt, but I have to admit it's annoying.

    This thread made me wonder if that might also be fixed now?
