etcher stuck on the "Starting..." state when trying to burn the same image a second time

[rgl]

• Etcher version: 1.0.0-beta.16
• Operating system and architecture: Windows 10 amd64
• Do you see any meaningful error information on DevTools?

Oh, its not a matter of using the same image. With different image the same thing happens. So this always happens when trying to burn another image without quitting etcher.

I believe this was fixed in #816 (but isn't yet available in a pre-built Etcher image).

Hi @rgl ,

Thanks for reporting! As @lurch mentioned, this issue has been indeed fixed in master, and it will land the next release! Sorry for the inconveniences!

I found an even faster way to reproduce this last night, without having to wait for a drive to finish flashing first... ;)
Run Etcher-portable on a Windows account with limited privileges. Click the Flash button, but then click No in the elevation prompt. Click the Flash button again and you immediately get the button stuck on "Starting..." and this.log is not a function in devtools console.

@lurch So is it still happening on master? Even after https://github.com/resin-io/etcher/pull/816?

So is it still happening on master?

Dunno, I'm not yet set up to build Etcher from source on Windows (ran out of space on my Windows laptop).

I ran into the same issue in the first attempt, after selecting the .iso file and usb drive , I clicked on the Flash button, it got stuck on starting...shows the progress in the second attempt...

@Monis1 Please open a new issue describing your problem in more detail. Thanks.

Same issue here.

Down loaded the latest build this morning (dec-9-2017) and had the same issue.

I am on an unpriviledged account. I find my file, tell it the drive, tell it to start. It asks for priviledges and I give it to them and now I am stuck on the Starting display.

This was on 64 bit Windows 10 (Currently release). I even tried a different SD card, both in a USB interface as well as an SD card interface to my computer. Win32DiskImager handled the same file and SD card OK. Etcher vust checked).

@cebess This issue has been closed, and is actually slightly different to the issue you're experiencing.
Please open a new issue describing your problem in as much detail as possible, thank you.
