my Ubuntu isn't installing Balena Etcher

[yahuda-sudo]

While installing Balena Etcher into my Ubuntu terminal I got an Error notice "Some packages could not be installed & requested an impossible situation" because the following packages have unmet dependencies:
balena-etcher : Depends: gconf-service but it is not installable
Depends: gconf2 but it is not installable
Depends: libgconf-2-4 but it is not installable
Do you have a recomended method or a quick solution for my problem ?

I got this same thing. I am on Ubuntu 24.04.1. Here's my workaround.

• Add Ubuntu 22.04 sources to system
  sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/jammy-sources.list
  In this file input the following:

deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-updates main restricted universe multiverse
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ jammy-security main restricted universe multiverse

Save with CTRL + X, Enter, Y

• Update packages
  sudo apt update

• Install the three missing packages
  sudo apt install gconf-service gconf2 libgconf-2-4

• Make sure root has direct access to the folder and file where you saved the .deb of balena-etcher

sudo chmod 644 /path/to/balena-etcher_1.19.21_amd64.deb

• Install balena-etcher
  • Open the folder where the .deb file is located
  • Right click inside the folder and Open in Terminal
    sudo apt install ./balen-etcher_1.19.21_amd64.deb

Hope this works for you!
