authenticity check fail

[fringe turret]

You will have to give us a bit more. What are you checking? Where do you see that error?

[vital geode]

It says it when trying to do the authenticity check I paste In every command it says in the form and it just pops that error out no matter if it's cmd or windows PowerShell

[fringe turret]

You are checking the authenticity of... a Linux ISO?

[vital geode]

Yes xfce version

Rn the PC is off and I don't have any photos

[fringe turret]

The likely issue is Windows not supporting the algorithm used for the hash out of the box. You need SHA256.

[vital geode]

Il try it later

[fringe turret]

Wait, GPG? Are you actually using GPG on Windows for this? As in GNU Privacy Guard?

[vital geode]

Im using what's found on the form

[vital geode]

Yes gnu privacy guard

[fringe turret]

You need a program that can verify SHA256 checksums. The method cited here is with GNU Privacy Guard, which is not present on Windows, you would have to install it first. I know of no good way to check this with Windows default tools.

Or you can just skip testing, it is not required.

[vital geode]

I've installed GNU guard

[fringe turret]

Then good luck figuring it out. I have never used it.

[vital geode]

Aw man I've installed Linux mint Cinnamon on my old pc and had little to no issues

I also used GNU guard

[fringe turret]

That is good. You could test the ISO there, Mint is usually equipped to test ISO checksums.

[vital geode]

Oh ok.
