balenaEtcher is an open-source tool for creating bootable pendrives.
https://www.balena.io/etcher/
They have an official .deb repo, both x86 and x64, with instructions how to add it here:
https://github.com/balena-io/etcher#deb ... nux-x86x64
Such version is not cutting-edge and therefore likely more stable.
balenaEtcher does have an opt-out "anonymous statistics" anti-feature though.

Etcher doesn't work on my MX when used as an electron image. If it's possible, I would love to have it in the repos.

Hmm, for me it works fine.
Actually it would be nice if there was an integrated bootable stick maker in Thunar's custom actions. I miss this feature, coming from Linux Mint.

Live USB maker works well here also, But I use Etcher and their .deb file installs and work fine here. Make sure you download the one for Debian not xubuntu.

But can MX Live USB Maker create from any iso, including Windows?

Yes with the option DD (disk dump) , that the exact the option Etcher is using.

The following is a way to install "Etcher" for Debian. Ignore the lines starting with # sign, they are descriptive only. The rest are copy/pasted into your Terminal.
#Add Etcher debian repository:
echo "deb
https://deb.etcher.io stable etcher" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/balena-etcher.list
#Trust Bintray.com's GPG key:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys 379CE192D401AB61
#Update and install:
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install balena-etcher-electron
#Uninstall
sudo apt-get remove balena-etcher-electron
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/balena-etcher.list
sudo apt-get update

Hi.
I,m using the appimage downloaded from Etchers web site. It works without problems. I only made a folder for the appimage, and then I made an shortcut on my desktop. When I launched the shortcut the permissions was set up correctly (and made executable). And everything just works..
Very easy. If only Ether would make the usb stick with fat32. It did not, so I had to revert to Rufus on Windows (shame) for reformatting. When I tried Gparted, It saw my 4gig usb stick as an 16 gig...
But etcher is the best for sd cards

Gparted can probably format SD cards and I know it can format USB sticks. There's also mintstick in the repositories which adds a USB formatting tool (and a read-only USB burner) to the Accessories menu. MX Live USB Maker can burn ISOs to USB sticks including ISOs from other Linux distros, and WoeUSB can burn Windows ISOs and create bootable USB sticks or optical disks. So MX already has tools available that can do the same job as Etcher.

I'm paranoid because on previous distros that I have used installing anything with a slight error could (and did) break my install.
I'll go ahead and type Y and install this.

After I installed from the test repo, my computer is now upgrading 250 updates from the test repo. I hope I haven't screwed up anything. I do have a timeshift backup though.
I use MXPI
Re: REQUEST: balenaEtcher

That's not right. If you use MXPI, the Test Repo will only be opened temporarily to install a package, then it's disabled again at the end of the installation process.
In your sources list, Test Repo is opened permanently (ie, in the list file) and you're getting tons of updates from there, even stuff you might not want.
If you haven't said yes to the updates, don't.
Wait for the experts to wake up and visit the forum.
If you've already updated, let's see what happens.

Perhaps permanently?

The update is almost finished. I'm too scared to reboot, I better wait.
That's just part of the update:
Hmm some context is missing "The update is almost finished." , not clear what update is this about.
Did you enabled mxtestrepo with MX package Installer and then updated the package list from testrepo?
Is this what you meant with "The update is almost finished."
So you updated package index-list only or did you also upgraded packages and installed newer version from testrepo?
Or what was the intention?
The two entries with testrepo are really a bit strange:
Code: Select all
Get:19 https://mirrors.evowise.com/mxlinux-packages/mx/testrepo stretch/test amd64 fontconfig-config all 1:2.13.1-2~mx17+1 [283 kB]
Get:52 http://mxrepo.com/mx/testrepo stretch/test amd64 libavdevice58 amd64 7:4.1.1-0.1~mx17+1 [110 kB]
Suggest to switch to another repo using MX repo manager.
And try again. ( I mean if I would know what you are going to try...)

Hi.
I,m using the appimage downloaded from Etchers web site. It works without problems. I only made a folder for the appimage, and then I made an shortcut on my desktop. When I launched the shortcut the permissions was set up correctly (and made executable). And everything just works..
Very easy. If only Ether would make the usb stick with fat32. It did not, so I had to revert to Rufus on Windows (shame) for reformatting. When I tried Gparted, It saw my 4gig usb stick as an 16 gig...
But etcher is the best for sd cards
I'm on a laptop with MX 17. I downloaded balenaEtcher & it is refusing to write to the micro SD card (via an adapter)
I can see the card fine in File Manager.
I installed zenity (zenity is in the Repo) because it was suggested that the absence of zenity might cause balenaEtcher to fail.
It still gets all the way to writing the SD card then fails.
EDIT: Loaded balenaEtcher on my MX 19 laptop & it worked fine.
