Hi Rene- Everything you mentioned checked out. I took the bottom of the sha256sum file where it was ascii armor and pasted it into notepad and saved it.
I don't know why it isn't verifying. I named that file fedora.asc. Here is what the original file looks like. Please see below for the part that I copied and pasted into notepad. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA256 # Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 2220474368 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-Cinnamon-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = 03db083afb8e25dcf3f433c1c07064650010dfc99ebc930b58ee34d328758cf6 # Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 2214592512 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = b1da6062ee2e90695557f93a3e13a594884d8ab08ac48a93118eca68bc9108a8 # Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 1478590464 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-LXDE-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = 57aa7b4df1138e755fdfebf8c60e49609f86f6f096baa578afabc1e91ef8576a # Fedora-LXQt-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 1502576640 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-LXQt-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = 8fc59e536571dd146f1f73272097e3355860fa54fff9ff0461c8243a58cadefb # Fedora-MATE_Compiz-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 2195668992 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-MATE_Compiz-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = ccf352edf7286e15968048abcc7b3f760067e74da27e904efab8302c40f8ada4 # Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 1229389824 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-SoaS-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = 09bbbdd5c92aff25db54ff0db683844d1cd9ed5dc0918b22a0f1ddb561b921d2 # Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 1694498816 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-Xfce-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = 8c175c901393788a4a46ffeeb29b7f1eebde66d8c3226bd83675c2e7212a891d # Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso: 1482964992 bytes SHA256 (Fedora-i3-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso) = c66c9521a1d73ac5505e1b523974c9604a4cf3d9823ee1e83fdf82d99174886c -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEU97Sy5Iti42eY/0YmZ98vzircfQFAmJ1Lu8ACgkQmZ98vzir cfRuDA/+IoCBqNW8kGoVXyrf6OfUjoaDrPF48EdIHLh0rBLaPCFu0dCNr5hjJijy bINk5ogc4dRteC+qHNa6HWpRh4hDv+YfMxtrNlMXc0udW79uZWNrUR4zsWiX1aOS mgyCSTIwcxUi59Brzh12iFjb6Gg4AeiUBOY8C5joLkrreT6Z6lQ2FcQySdj5SSmk dyEyZZI5eJQQ3yBtfVeNY+JnvobvGpENS3V4IlDDfLgjmlbgNaUdCZIy0QNkAH/P VhMPNrnQXMvcrH9uhLXxpseqpN+ZfhK64F47iHpXQGpfZyPdII3qjE/hW1vCL4UK AV8TqFRYPK5wXu/HSqz0Mg9TCtf95oPVqgug0Czme7x8ObQ8i2x+uU9QoOjEr8oP 5U0DhrsUKzn7ogw6TfmBTDv3e+w0FBMqrHysWy9yU/SvsVKZRfz5l1fxYDI/Ifvn K+oSCMG1wIhwVDBPO0rz/PdmeVnHNrLndrboJxYTApfJAZdVjoMwRivGtFtBjOPu okSnkheDIwMnW3CvEwdxTrfZD2AL/nfm5I3qnJ6WSAwcF96TFWJj1/KDYrA1mE+b hVbBkL7m+WCTN/DqegYefxDHEE09qvOLSDCSYOuZJpwVKxXame8C5/Zoe9AAJVDj t8lbWKKPMauFFN/SXQ18JT0mECWWx84qmBvbezma2ecH2frMAuc= =KcCN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- This is what i copied and pasted into notepad and called fedora.asc (see below): -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCAAdFiEEU97Sy5Iti42eY/0YmZ98vzircfQFAmJ1Lu8ACgkQmZ98vzir cfRuDA/+IoCBqNW8kGoVXyrf6OfUjoaDrPF48EdIHLh0rBLaPCFu0dCNr5hjJijy bINk5ogc4dRteC+qHNa6HWpRh4hDv+YfMxtrNlMXc0udW79uZWNrUR4zsWiX1aOS mgyCSTIwcxUi59Brzh12iFjb6Gg4AeiUBOY8C5joLkrreT6Z6lQ2FcQySdj5SSmk dyEyZZI5eJQQ3yBtfVeNY+JnvobvGpENS3V4IlDDfLgjmlbgNaUdCZIy0QNkAH/P VhMPNrnQXMvcrH9uhLXxpseqpN+ZfhK64F47iHpXQGpfZyPdII3qjE/hW1vCL4UK AV8TqFRYPK5wXu/HSqz0Mg9TCtf95oPVqgug0Czme7x8ObQ8i2x+uU9QoOjEr8oP 5U0DhrsUKzn7ogw6TfmBTDv3e+w0FBMqrHysWy9yU/SvsVKZRfz5l1fxYDI/Ifvn K+oSCMG1wIhwVDBPO0rz/PdmeVnHNrLndrboJxYTApfJAZdVjoMwRivGtFtBjOPu okSnkheDIwMnW3CvEwdxTrfZD2AL/nfm5I3qnJ6WSAwcF96TFWJj1/KDYrA1mE+b hVbBkL7m+WCTN/DqegYefxDHEE09qvOLSDCSYOuZJpwVKxXame8C5/Zoe9AAJVDj t8lbWKKPMauFFN/SXQ18JT0mECWWx84qmBvbezma2ecH2frMAuc= =KcCN -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- thanks for helping, jim On Friday, June 24, 2022, 12:23:19 PM EDT, René Berber <rene.ber...@gmail.com> wrote: On 6/24/2022 10:55 AM, Jim McNamara via Cygwin wrote: > $ gpg --verify fedora.asc Fedora-KDE-Live-x86_64-36-1.5.iso > gpg: can't handle text lines longer than 19995 characters > gpg: Signature made Fri May 6 10:21:35 2022 EDT using RSA key ID 38AB71F4 > gpg: BAD signature from "Fedora (36) <fedora-36-prim...@fedoraproject.org>" > > I am having a difficult time.
