I've been attempting to install Linux Mint 18 on a hard drive for a while now, but I continuously run into an error when I try to use gpg --verify
. The exact error is as follows:
$ sudo gpg --verify sha256sum.txt.gpg sha256sum.txt
gpg: Signature made Thu 30 Jun 2016 05:13:33 AM MDT using RSA key ID A25BAE09
gpg: BAD signature from "Linux Mint ISO Signing Key <[email protected]>"
UPDATE: Now that I'm retrying all the steps to make sure I did everything correctly, I run into this error when I attempt to import the keys with the commands given on the Linux Mint website, here.
$ gpg --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key "27DE B156 44C6 B3CF

sudo
for gpg? Also, where did you obtain the .txt file from?sudo
because I'm pretty terrible at this and thought that it might have some effect.sha256sum
the checksum matched what the site said it should be in the sha256sum.txt file I downloaded. Why would the results be different when I verified the file?
