etcher: bz2 files can no longer be flashed

  • Etcher version: 1.18.4
  • Operating system and architecture: M1 Mac Monterey 12 to a Sandisk 32Gb USB device
  • Image flashed: steamdeck recovery image
  • What do you think should have happened: should have flashed the steamdeck image to the device
  • What happened: Never gets past ‘Flashing 0%’, rolled back to 1.14.3 and it works fine
  • Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools? Just stays on 0% with an unfathomably long ETA, no actual errors

Here you go. I’ve actually tried this on two M1 macs with Monterey, sorry employer, and the same result on both

Thanks. Although that doesn’t explain why the decompression issue didn’t happen on 1.14.3, in fact there was no indication that whilst it was hanging it was even attempting to decompress on 1.18.4.
