I searched that error message and one of the things suggested was to make sure you're using the right version of the distro. Ergo, you downloaded the 64 bit AppImage so it won't work with 32 bit.
Otherwise, maybe AppImage doesn't work out the box with 14.04.
There are instructions here to install it from a repository: https://github.com/resin-io/etcher#d...nulinux-x86x64

I downloaded the Linux version. I did not see a checksum.
The permissions are set. The programme is executable.
I might try another download.

I would suspect a bad download also. retry.
Also when you extract it make sure it has the proper permissions to run as an executable.

I use the AppImage from that source and it runs fine when I double click on it (my preferred setting). Did your download give a good checksum?

But if you want to use it I would recommend that you install it from the repositories not the net. That way all dependencies will be checked and working. Etcher comes as an appimage and will work very well. good luck.

IMO, AppImages is the way to go. Add them by downloading either the AppImage file or the zip of the AppImage file. Unzip the zip file and copy the AppImage revealed to any location you want. I have over a dozen AppImage applications installed and I put them in a subdirectory of Download called AppImages. Usually the AppImage is already marked executable but check to make sure. If not, use Dolphin to set it to executable. Create a Menu option pointing to it. When you upgrade to a newer AppImage release just copy the new one over the old. When you want to remove it from your system merely delete it (and the menu option IF you installed one). Nothing could be easier.

Yes, it will wipe the pendrive.
1: Extract the file anywhere you like on your hard drive. It doesn't matter.
2: In Dolphin: Right click the file, click properties. Check the file is set to executable in the permissions tab.
3: Open the file = open the program.
That works for any appimage file.

Will this application wipe the pendrive, or ignore the stored files?
I assume that it installs to the hard-drive (or do I place the files in a folder) and creates bootable pendrives. I hope that it does not need to be installed to the pendrive.
They advertise the programme as safe. I wonder what they mean?
Regards
Ps. Have you found any online information regarding this application?

I did download it from the Net. I was reading a page and it recommended unetbootin as a programme to make live USB's.
Should the programme work using ./, and should I use sudo?
Will unetbootin reformat the pendrive, or can I leave information that is stored on the drive?
Good wishes
Ps. I downloaded it from github.ioLast edited by anonprivate; Apr 11, 2018, 07:38 AM.
