balenaEtcherが`Error(0,h.requestMetadata) is not a function`となってISOの書き込みが出来ない

ある日、いつものようにUSBメモリにUbuntu Desktop 24.04を書き込もうとするとError(0,h.requestMetadata) is not a functionとエラーになってしまい書き込めない。やれやれ、と思って別のISOを書き込もうとすると、同じエラー。

I’m obviously biased, but I think that Raspberry Pi Imager works pretty well. Although do note that there’s some features that Etcher has that Imager doesn’t; and likewise there’s some features that Imager has that Etcher doesn’t. 💾

200件以上のコメントが付いるように、どうやらLinuxだけでなくWindowsでも起きる現象らしく、コメントだと Raspberry Pi Imagerだと上手く動くっぽい。

I got the same error using balenaEtcher-1.19.25-x64.AppImage with Linux. Going back to balenaEtcher-1.18.11-x64.AppImage solved the problem for me. Just dropping this note for users not running Windows…
