Got a Totally Different sum when checking disc

happydog500 · 05-23-2017, 06:40 PM

I downloaded openSUSE and checked the download. I get two different numbers. They are so different, maybe I did it wrong.

Here is the number I get;

a5af6b0ac4d42d801de642304eb88ca9fd65a61b6c3ff25724182494f288f00

But the site says I'm supoised to get; 22C0 7BA5 3417 8CD0 2EFE 22AA B88B 2FD4 3DBD C284.

What's the deal? Why so far off?

Thank you,
Chris.

I assume the page you downloaded it from is https://software.opensuse.org/122

The 22C0... number is the iso's gpg signature.

The a5af6... number of yours looks like a sha256 checksum but isn't listed on the above page, which lists both md5 and sha1 checksums for the iso.

You need to learn more about these terms so that you know what you're dealing with.
