macOS Error - EPERM: operation not permitted

Open ram-on opened this issue 1 year ago • 3 comments

  • Etcher version: 1.7.9
  • Operating system and architecture: macOS 12.6
  • Image flashed: ubuntu-22.10-desktop-amd64.iso
  • What do you think should have happened: Image should have been flashed.
  • What happened: After selecting the ISO image and the USB flash drive, Etcher ask me to input my password, which I did. A second later, Etcher displays "Flash Failed!" and the outputted reason is EPERM: operation not permitted, open '/dev/rdisk3'
  • Do you see any meaningful error information in the DevTools?
"error": {
		"name": "Error",
		"message": "EPERM: operation not permitted, open '/dev/rdisk3'",
		"stack": "Error: EPERM: operation not permitted, open '/dev/rdisk3'",
		"code": "EPERM",
		"syscall": "open",
		"errno": -1
	},

I've tried the above process using different USB pendrives and different USB ports: all lead to the same outcome.

I wonder if this might be the same thing as #3369 ?
