Can't authenticate ISO file of Q4OS Aquarius trinity

Hi, I downloaded a ISO file of Q4OS Aquarius trinity today from the official website

q4os-5.7-x64-tde.r1.iso
and when running the verification on my terminal the output was blank, as if the file was corrupt. ie

sha256sum Downloads/q4os-5.7-x64-tde.r1.iso | grep 71e425f939830e88284de8b4e99919d9

This I have done with other distribution and it should give the number in red color, but it didn't.

Now, I didn't try before to obtain the md5sum from an ISO, I assume the previous command did that and then compared to the one given in the command line. Anyways, I found that the way to obtain the md5sum was like this, after navigating to the Downloads folder (I also downloaded the file again from the website, that is the same as the link you just provided me)

md5sum q4os-5.7-x64-tde.r1.iso

Then the terminal gave this as output

71e425f939830e88284de8b4e99919d9  q4os-5.7-x64-tde.r1.iso

This corresponds to the md5sum you have in the website. I think validades it, but I'm not sure why the previous method doesn't work.

Please let me know if this makes sense. I'm not an expert by any means with linux, please be patient with me

Thanks in advance

Re: Can't authenticate ISO file of Q4OS Aquarius trinity

The first time you used sha256sum.
You have to check an md5 sum with the output of the md5sum command.
Anyway, excellent idea to check.
