Hello all, I’m trying to flash linux mint to a old thinkpad I’m refurbishing. However, when I go to flash the ISO to the USB, balena etcher throws the following error’s

[23381:0729/101159.717484:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 1 times! [23340:0729/101202.577845:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: invalid cast from ‘GtkFileChooserNative’ to ‘GtkWidget’ [23340:0729/101205.337371:ERROR:browser_main_loop.cc(280)] GLib-GObject: …/gobject/gsignal.c:2777: instance ‘0x37b801188b20’ has no handler with id ‘5761’ [23381:0729/101205.693383:ERROR:gl_surface_presentation_helper.cc(260)] GetVSyncParametersIfAvailable() failed for 2 times!

I would like to note I’m flashing this ISO from my main computer running fedora, and I installed balena etcher from an RPM, (Already tried the app image, but it seems that FUSE is acting up).

Thank you in advance!

    I don’t remember if it’s the same error, but I also get an error with etcher. If you have to use it, version 1.7.9 works for me.
