error: please check that the archive is not corrupted. every iso i try

Etcher version: 1.5.51
Operating system and architecture: ubuntu 19.04 64bit
Image flashed: every manjaro iso i can find
Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools? /tmp/.mount_balenaD4…js/dist/raven.js:58 {"stack":"Error: The elevated process died unexpectedly\n at Object.exports.createError (/tmp/.mount_balenaD4uKeB/resources/app.asar/lib/shared/errors.js:253:17)\n at Object.exports.createUserError (/tmp/.mount_balenaD4uKeB/resources/app.asar/lib/shared/errors.js:292:18)\n at Bluebird.using (/tmp/.mount_balenaD4uKeB/resources/app.asar/lib/shared/permissions.js:207:22)","message":"The elevated process died unexpectedly","description":"The process error code was 126","report":false,"image":"manjaro-architect-18.0.2-stable-x86_64.iso"}

every iso i try to flash i get an error saying “something went wrong. if it is a compressed image, please check that the archive is not corrupted.” i have tried manjaro architect iso, manjaro i3 iso, manjaro kde iso, etc. every one gives this error.

I had the same problem. The solution was to unmount all the extra volumes.

diskutil list

/dev/disk2 (external, physical):
   #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
   0:     FDisk_partition_scheme                        *31.3 GB    disk2
   1:             Windows_FAT_32 NO NAME                 31.3 GB    disk2s1

diskutil unmount disk2s1

Etcher should work now.

Optional:

Skip etcher and just use dd:

sudo dd if=/path/to/your/disk.img of=/dev/rdisk2 bs=1m diskutil eject /dev/disk2

I had this issue as well on Mac OS. I solved it by running etcher from the terminal with following command: sudo /Applications/balenaEtcher.app/Contents/MacOS/balenaEtcher
