Just installed 2012-09-18 wheezy raspbian - md5sum prob

[kabads]

I've downloaded this several times and can't get the md5sum to work - once I do it I always get

Code: Select all

- the images boot, but I always have problems with apt-get update. I'm not sure what could be the problem here, as usually when I download other distros md5sum always works out for me - is there something wrong with the file on the server? Can anyone get a proper md5sum to check out on this file?

You shouldn't be testing it with md5sum, you should instead be running sha1sum.

Here's what you'll see with sha1sum:

Code: Select all

stevepdp@glitch:~$ sha1sum 2012-09-18-wheezy-raspbian.zip

Remember also that it's the zip you need to check, not the image file contained. The full instructions for checking images can be found here.

D'oh! Thanks - will check it now.

Glad I found this help. I was doing the same. Should have been the .zip file I compared it with not the image file.
Re-read it on the web site and there it was.
Lesson - must read the instructions twice or three times!

Tanks and best regards RRJ
