Re: [opensuse-factory] broken shasums for 42.2 isos?
sdm composed on 2016-11-21 07:28 (UTC-0800): ...
Run this command: `sha256sum -c openSUSE-Leap-42.2-NET-x86_64.iso.sha256` The output should say:
openSUSE-Leap-42.2-NET-x86_64.iso: OK sha256sum: WARNING: 14 lines are improperly formatted
The "OK" is letting you know that the checksum passed. The improperly formatted error message about line 14 can be ignored...
The complete output in the OP masks what may seem to be an additional error. That's what happened to me, and the reason why I bothered take the trouble to ask. I'm used to using md5sum, having always chosen it over shasum when both were offered. As is typical for me attempting use of of example-free man pages, I was unable to discover syntax that corresponds to the 'md5sum -c filename.md5' syntax I was used to. IOW, this was my first attempt to use shasum. Not only did I see a bunch of error lines overpowering the single OK line, but the command returned in a tiny fraction of the time I expected it to take, nearly instantly, compared to a patience testing length of an md5sum process used upon a dvd .iso. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."

In addition to md5sum, I have also used shasum in the past, in the same manner as I'd used md5sum. However, this time it's different, with no explanation why or appropriate instructions. Like you, I also assumed there was a problem and it was only after I found the proper sha256 file elsewhere that I was able to verify the ISO. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

Seriously? sha1sum and sha256sum syntax exactly copies one of md5sum so the answer is "sha256sum -c filename.sha256".

That's hardly surprising as you were verifying only a short text file rather than a 4GB DVD image. Michal Kubeček -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org

For a (somewhat) user-friendly UI, note that the KDE file manager, Dolphin, now has a *built-in* checksum feature, supporting both MD5, SHA1 and SHA256. Simple right on a file and choose ‘Properties → Checksums’ to verify checksums. Of course, this wasn’t available to use for checking the 42.2 ISOs if you were currently using 42.1 or a different, older distro (or desktop environment). I’m just including it as a tip for people to be aware of in the future. -- Karl Ove Hufthammer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-factory+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-factory+owner@opensuse.org
