Balena Etcher error

[Jeslin]

@Karl

Is there any easy way to check if the iso is corrupted before I redownload it?

You could check the SHA256 checksum. To check it first open up a terminal and then change the directory to the directory or folder which contains the .iso file. To do this enter cd ~/example/path/ in the terminal and replace example/path/ with the path to your file. This should not include the file, it should only have the folder in which it is contained in. Then type sha256sum "your-file.iso" in terminal and replace "your-file" with the name of the .iso file. Compare the checksum obtained with this:

Download - Zorin OS

The checksums are at the end.

Thanks for this detailed explanation, Jeslin
Come to think about of it, I was so eager to try it out and I forgot to do this checksum myself.
But luckily all went well

Well thought about installing 16 Lite with an iso. But then I changed my mind and decided to install it in my core version. I checked for it and couldn't find a package named zorin-os-desktop-lite. That is probably because I didn't do sudo apt update and sudo apt upgrade. So now I am in the process of sudo apt upgrading. It will take some time.

Or am I wrong and I don't need the sudo apt upgrade? I am not sure if that is the right package name. Last time I asked, Aravisian told me that it was what I needed to do to install zorin os 16 lite in my core.

Popsicle worked fine from the same iso. I'll use that in future. Many thanks everyone! Not to try Lite Pro 16 when I get the time - very excited about Xfce. Gnome looks nice enough, but there are all sorts of small irritations, and things that can't be tweaked but where I don't like the default option. Interesting times!

@Jeslin

I checked for it and couldn't find a package named zorin-os-desktop-lite

zorin-os-lite-desktop
or

sudo apt install zorin-os-lite-desktop

[Jeslin]

Umm... evrything went well except for the fact that it messed up my touch-pad scroll speed. I tried adjusting it but it did not work. Looks like I will have to get that fixed. It also affects my old xfce.

[Aravisian]

Well, yeah... because it includes the Zorin Configurations, dockbarx and so forth.
I mean... You wanted to install it.
I figured you had a reason and knew what you were doing.

The XFCE you were running is the Same System and Same Capability.
(Sidenote: You are better off reconfiguring Zorin Desktop to your liking - I wouldn't recommend removing it to try to fix the issue. I remove dockbarx, right off, though...)

@Jeslin, how can you check multiple files in a folder ? In windows i had a .md5 checker. How can i do this in linux ?

Good day Folks

My issue began with a rebuild project, could and cannot install a Web Builder application 64-bit OS.

Getting to the bottom of the pile trying to find a solution, my thoughts were to update the OS to version 16.

Purchased and downloaded the Pro version had real problem with getting Belena Etcher working , overcame that issue burnt the image onto a 32 Gb San-disk.

Came up with the error illustrated by a previous contributor.

A long walk my thoughts were to burn a DVD, but the pro version is too big – downloaded the “Lite” version burnt a DVD using Brusero, same error shows up.

The DVD will not launch properly either

As long as you are already on Linux, you can use Popsicle, its light weight, its simple to use, and has a built in hash checker.

If your still on Windows, well, you have the choice of Rufus or Unetbootin. Just don't use Balena Etcher, unless you want to etch your USB drive into its tombstone.

FrenchPress I tried to use your link above but it said page can not be reached ... ????

[FrenchPress]

Try this one:
https://mint.pkgs.org/20.2/mint-main-amd64/mintstick_1.4.6_all.deb.html

[Frog]

Nope same results ....

[Jeslin]

You can do something like this sha256sum *.ods *.txt *.odt. This will check the sha256 sum of all the files in folder or directory with the extension of .ods, .odt and .txt. You can also type in the name of individual files and the separate them with a space between them like this sha256sum 1.txt 2.odt. Same works for md5.

@Frog

Nope same results ....

Works fine here.

[Aravisian]

@Frog , are you still using a VPN?

[Bourne]

Yes Popsicle working when you want writing pendrive with installation Zorin. Tested and no problems.

[StarTreker]

Happy to see a happy Bourne, who's born again with Popsicle! I'm glad it worked for you, I sware by the fruity flavor of Popsicle myself hehe.

I actually just used it to burn the Zorin 16 LITE ISO, worked perfectly. I just love how simplified it is, even a total Linux newbie could figure it out.

Other then making quality burns, my other favorite aspect is the built in hash checker. I honestly think it's a sin that some ISO burners don't come with one.

Yes in Zorin is many software where on M$ not to much find that for free. That is amazing how many software people created in Zorin. Imagination how many codes exist with over 30 years now. Linux is like a human body what new codes brings new cells - like big brain Linux.

The server seems to be down.
If you want it now I can PM you the link to download from Mega drive.
