Hello,
i got a strange problem with all checksums on Trisquel. I think it is a bug
in ubuntu / linux or so. So i know this is probably not the right place to
address this issue.
A little bit to me: After the Snowden documents i decided to use linux, and
then finally i decided to switch to Linux. First i used Linux Mint, but then
i switched to Trisquel after i heard a Talk of Richard Stallman.
On my laptop i have installed a small Windows 7 Partition, which i used for
playing FIFA :)
Then i have a partition where i have have a Linux Mint installed. And finally
i got a partition with Trisquel which i use now every day. With my laptop i
always had problems verifying large iso-Files with gpg --verify (for eg
whonix, which i use in a virtual machine). The problem i will now describe i
had with my old hdd, but also on my SSHD, on which i migrated one year or to
years ago.
On my laptop i have always problems Verififying iso-images via "gpg
--verify". I always got the error "wrong signature". So i decided today to
analyse this problem.
I got also a old Desktop-PC with Trisquel installed on it, where the problem
does not occure. Here i could always verfy the images correctly!
So today i tried a md5sum on several iso's on Trisquell. I found out, that
the md5sum always changes. Only if i booted up and quickly made the checksum
the checksum got the right value.
Then i tried sha256sum, sha512sum, sha224sum which behaves the same way as
md5sum.
For short files the checksums where all correct and "stable". But for long
iso-Files the checksums where incorrect and changing time to time.
My first thought was, this might be a RAM-Problem. So i did a memtestx86
which shows no errors.
Next i tried my Linux Mint installation which behaves the same way.
Because i knew, my old hdd behaves the same as my new sshd, i was conviced
not to have a hardware Problem.
So i tried to build a md5sum on my Windows 7 installation, and there the
checksum was always right!!!!!!!! I verified this by a view examples. The
checksum was always right and stable.
On a trisquel live-cd, when i copied the iso-Files to the RAM-Disk, the
checksums where also always correct and stable!!!!!!
So maybe it is a driver problem???
When i searched the internet, i found sparly the problem noticed but not
solved.
Can anybody tell me where i can adress this issue to help fixing that
linux-Bug?
Thanks in advice!
