No Etchings
This issue keeps happening every time I try to transfer the Pop!_OS ISO into my USB – whenever I click Flash From File, it stops for a minute or two and just displays an error opening the source. I’ve done almost everything – running the app as admin, changing files, and so on. The error code is ‘(0 ,h.requestMetadata) is not a function’ – can you tell me what’s going on to get this working?

There’s been reports of issues with certain builds of Etcher in the past – was this the stable build off the front page? I can see there’s been reported issues for 1.19.x releases, so it’s certainly not you. There’s always the legacy 32-bit build that’s version 1.7.9 – it’s not going to be any slower…
It’s worth eyeing these things up on their GitHubs. That’s one of the cool things about open source: it’s developed in the open, so you can see what’s going on. If you’re interested, head to https://github.com/balenaio/etcher, where there’s full install info and you can look up past versions and current issues.
