Hello,

I’m trying to create an USB key with taspberry pi imager. I’m on fedora silverblue. I installed pi imager with rpm-ostree but I always got this issue:

1000011127
10000111272340×1080 178 KB

I try to install it with flatpak, but I always got same issue.

I take care to put my sd adaptor to good position.

Any idea ?

Thanks !

Seems to be a permissions issue.
Maybe you need to run the pi imager as root using sudo?

3

Is the sd card mounted correctly? can you access the sd card from the file manager?

4

Yes. I can also erase it (format) with pi imager without issue.

I got same issue using root.

Thanks

But are you running the program as the root user?

6

thanks, works with root user :slight_smile:

Running a graphical interface or program as root is generally a Bad Thing™.

The Right Thing™ is to run the following command (as root):
chcon -t fixed_disk_device_t /dev/mmcblk0 (or whatever the SD card is mounted as)

and then run rpi-imager as your normal user.
