Fixing My 'Decrypt/Verify' Problem With Kleopatra

submitted by CompleteDoubterII from self.privacy

NEVER MIND, I DID IT! TURNS OUT YOU CAN USE WINDOWS POWERSHELL TO VERIFY! THANK YOU LINUX MINT TUTORIAL! https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=42&t=291093 (And thank God I didn't install it to my computer, it failed the integrity check.)

I THINK I've found what I need to do to check the signature of the Qubes Release Key. From this part of the Gpg4win Compendium (https://anonfile.com/Pca6x5ucn0/2Capture_PNG), I'm going to assume that all you need to do to check the signature is apply 'Decrypt/Verify' on the key. Unfortunately, when I click on it, it says it 'contains certificates and cannot be decrypted or verified' (https://anonfile.com/56i7xbubn6/Capture_PNG). Just help me with this, and I'll finally be done with stage 2 of the verification problem. I'm kind of angry right now. Why did the helper give up on me (https://wald.intevation.org/forum/forum.php?thread_id=2064&forum_id=21&group_id=11)? Why is it too much for this person to unpack? Why is giving instructions so hard?

Please don't use anonfile it traps me into notifications and a bunch of spam shit. You can use imgur for images then I can see them.

Qubes is an advanced OS so you should be prepared for advanced frustration.

I've read some documentation and watched video tours. Besides, apparently the best way to learn it is to use it.

Does qubes-release-4-signing-key.asc have this content?

Errr... I can't find a PGP public block for qubes-release-4-signing-key.asc on Kleopatra or GPA. I downloaded the 'PGP Key' on this page: https://www.qubes-os.org/downloads/. Perhaps you mean the detached PGP Signature File (by clicking the 'Signature' button)? https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/qubes/iso/Qubes-R4.0.1-x86_64.iso.asc If so, no, it doesn't contain that.

Sorry, but why does this matter? I thought we were trying to verify if it was signed by the Master Key, and to do that we need to get the 'Decrypt/Verify' problem to be fixed.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

Yay... let us all know how you are liking Qubes. Good persistence man.

[–]CompleteDoubterII[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Well, now there's a new problem. I downloaded the ISO and got a .part file. https://saidit.net/s/privacy/comments/qak/downloaded_qubes_iso_got_a_part_file/ This is obnoxious.
