Thank you.
The error dialog reads: "The writer process ended unexpectedly.
Please try again, and contact the Etcher team if the
problem persists", followed by a "Retry" button.
Jeff, could you please:
- Try installing Tails 4.3 with from that Mac.
I expect you'll see the same problem.
- Apply the workaround I'm mentioning below, then try installing the
experimental Tails USB image from that Mac.
I expect it'll work fine.
It seems to be a known problem with macOS Catalina (10.15) new
security features:
https://github.com/balena-io/etcher/issues/2833
The best workaround seems to be:
1. Go to "System Preferences" → "Security & Privacy" → "Privacy".
2. Add Etcher to the list of "Full Disk Access" items.
sajolida, it seems like something we should document, doesn't it?
Cheers!
