So I installed BalenaEtcher today using Octopi; everything seemed to go well, as an entry was made with an icon in the application launcher. I click it, and I get a little bounding green box for a few seconds, and......nothing.
Strange.
So, I go into terminal and go to /bin
, I see etcher
using ls etcher
and type sudo etcher
, enter my pw, and poof! Etcher starts up and runs perfectly. I see a whole lot of messages in the terminal window while it's running too, some of which were yellow warnings. I don't recall specifically; I'd have to run etcher again and see. Anyhoo, I see file permissions for etcher shouldn't be an issue:
[đź”´] Ă— ls etcher
.rwxr-xr-x 57 root 5 Nov 04:24  etcher
right? I mean, it's not a permission issue it seems, and if it was, shouldn't I get a "root" dialogue box prompting me for my root pw?
If I click on the icon in the app launcher, it shows this:
and this:
and shows the program location as /opt/balenaEtcher/balena-etcher-electron
, which is not the file I'm running in the terminal (obviously). If I open terminal, navigate to /opt/balenaEtcher/
and attempt to run balena-etcher-electron
, this is what I get:
sudo balena-etcher-electron
[sudo] password for mx372:
sudo: balena-etcher-electron: command not found
So now I'm stumped. I'm doing something wrong I'm sure, I just don't know what.
Thanks for the help and education as I'm continuing to learn linux.
