Installation instructions for 18.04.1 LTS recommends "Fetching" SHA256SUMS in determining if a download or a burn to DVD is un-flawed. Presently http://releases.ubuntu.com/bionic/ does not allow downloading but only opening SHA256SUMS. Other posts recommmend against trying to reproduce the file by copying and pasting as this can create more problems with verifing the download and burn. Went to https://tutorials.ubuntu.com/tutorial/tutorial-how-to-verify-ubuntu#3 to check the ISO check-sum to see if: * the download was corrupted or * I had burned it to a faulty DVD. However I could find no workable answer to the following question. how to download SHA256SUMS from http://releases.ubuntu.com/bionic/? Seems the most simple question, however all I get at Ask.Ubuntu, stack exchange and Gethub is theory others problems and complications. The FTP protocol description is overwhelmingly complex. http://releases.ubuntu.com/bionic/ does not offer a copy or download option for the files. Other click on the file and all I get in Firefox is link choices. I have been warned in one of those sources that copying and pasting contents into a file I create will fowl up the process. Not being able to successfully download the SHA256SUMS means I only receive the following when attempting to confirm validity of the ISO gpg: can't open `SHA256SUMS.gpg' gpg: verify signatures failed: file open error All I can do is possibly waste another DVD downloading a valid? ISO with a bug in it, in doing a new download, but that is the only course I see for now with the gpg check-sums kerfuffle at: https://github.com/canonical-websites/tutorials.ubuntu.com/issues/new and https://github.com/canonical-websites/tutorials.ubuntu.com/issues/790 ** Affects: ubiquity (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: verification-failed-bionic -- Cannot SHA256SUMS from http://releases.ubuntu.com/bionic/ https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1817282 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
