Bug ID: 1297453 Summary: Checksum verification procedure for Mac is wrong Product: Fedora Documentation Version: devel Component: install-guide Assignee: bexelbie@redhat.com Reporter: pbokoc@redhat.com QA Contact: docs-qa@lists.fedoraproject.org CC: pbokoc@redhat.com, zach@oglesby.co
Someone reported that the checksum verification procedure for Mac doesn't work the way it's described in the Installation Guide. Here's what they said:
I made a live-cd on OS X. For the checksum verify, from: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/Fedora/23/html/Installation_Guide/sect-... :
quote For OSX: $ shasum -a 256 -c *CHECKSUM /quote
That gives on my OS X 10.11.1: $ shasum -a 256 -c *-CHECKSUM shasum: Fedora-Workstation-23-x86_64-CHECKSUM: no properly formatted SHA1 checksum lines found
Quick Google: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/74873/cant-verify-the-image-checks... quote The problem is that the format of the *-CHECKSUM file is not recognized by shasum. I solved this using the following one-liner: $ grep '^SHA256' *-CHECKSUM | awk -F '[()=]' '{ print $4 " " $2 }' | shasum -a 256 -c /quote
All credit goes to user Fredy for the fix. I confirm it works. $ grep '^SHA256' *-CHECKSUM | awk -F '[()=]' '{ print $4 " " $2 }' | shasum -a 256 -c shasum: Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23.iso: Fedora-Workstation-netinst-x86_64-23.iso: FAILED open or read Fedora-Live-Workstation-x86_64-23-10.iso: OK shasum: WARNING: 1 listed file could not be read
(I just had the live CD downloaded)
That's it! Otherwise instructions are very clear on the process, I used the command line to build my USB boot stick. That step does not prevent you from installing, but having a verified checksum is always better.
