[Solved] verify iso image question

[otokoshiro001]

Hello,
I only right clicked iso image and check sha256 and it matches. when I use terminal and imput gpg --verify sha256sum.txt.gpg sha256sum.txt i get "gpg: can't open 'sha256sum.txt.gpg': No such file or directory
gpg: verify signatures failed: No such file or directory"

What can I do to fix this?

You have to move your terminal location to the location of the file.

When you open terminal is starts at the base of your user home directory, you see it is specified as ~ in the terminal.

For example change your directory location, use command:

Code: Select all

cd Downloads/

-and now it shows ~/Downloads.

If the files were there you could run the command.

Maybe you need to move around to some other directory?

Alternately, you could type out the paths in the original command, something like:

Code: Select all

gpg --verify ~/Downloads/sha256sum.txt.gpg ~/Downloads/sha256sum.txt

Another way: Navigate to correct folder in File Manager, then right-click somewhere blank (not a file or folder) and select Open in Terminal.
