![]() ![]() ![]() In this case the verification gave me a mixed signals… Good signature… Not certified with a trusted signature… I wasn’t sure – so just in case I popped into the #archlinux IRC channel and asked…Ģ3:36 aefd90da1ee49c745101179f50afa783. Gpg: binary signature, digest algorithm SHA1 ![]() Gpg: There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner. Gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature! Gpg: Good signature from “Pierre Schmitz “ Gpg: assuming signed data in `./archlinux-2012.10.06-dual.iso’ Gpg -verify -verbose -keyring vendors.gpg. This time command looks slightly different: Now that You have this Pierre’s public key in Your vendors.gpg file we can try verifying the iso file again. Gpg: key 9741E8AC: public key “Pierre Schmitz ” imported Gpg: /home/andrzejl/.gnupg/trustdb.gpg: trustdb created Gpg: requesting key 9741E8AC from hkp server Gpg -no-default-keyring -keyring vendors.gpg -keyserver -recv-key 9741E8ACĪnd the output of the command looked like this: So in my case the command will look like this: You got it when the verification failed remember? You need to replace the RSA_key_ID with the actual RSA key ID. Gpg -no-default-keyring -keyring vendors.gpg -keyserver -recv-key RSA_key_ID So I started searching for the info and after a lot of research I finally combined something that works…įirst You need to download the public key that corresponds with the RSA key ID: Gpg: Can’t check signature: public key not found Gpg: Signature made Sat 03:28:53 PM IST using RSA key ID 9741E8AC Next I wanted to verify the iso file using the. Then I have copied the download links for the iso and sig files and wrote a short “script”. Today I have downloaded Arch Linux iso that I will be testing so I will use it as a example.įirst I went to the Arch Linux Downloads site and chose the mirror closest to me. You need to verify it in order to make sure that the content that You have downloaded is what the project members wanted You to download and not some fake / infected crap.
