Electron 12 used by etcher is EOL (end of life) #3767
Comments
It's also an issue with NVIDIA graphics drivers, electron12(and below) not working correctly with gpu sandboxing, leading to this error: The only way to work around is to use this as root or append Nvidia does not seem to be the actual problem as described here: NVIDIA/open-gpu-kernel-modules#302 and electron devs are not planning to update electron12 since it's not suported anymore: electron/electron#34522 So updating to a newer version of electron seems to be the only way to workaround and pretty important. *I won't bother making another issue about this since both issues rely on updating to a newer version of electron |
Very large and still depends on an end of life Electron: balena-io/etcher#3767 + balena-io/etcher#3834 + balena-io/etcher#3835
It's not only "annoying" but a security nightmare. 💣 Even critical CVE's are not fixed anymore because etcher builds their telemetry and advertising program on top of obsolete software - luckily the first package maintainers are getting rid of etcher already to protect their users. 👍 |
Electron 12 used by etcher is EOL (end of life). Installing it on NixOS results in a warning which is quite annoying. It would be great to update to a newer Electron version.
