Downloaded openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso and put it on a USB drive using Live Creator. Booting up to the media, I choose to check the media, and I end up with “ISO check failed, you have been warned” message.
Then I wiped the drive and installed it using dd (dd if=openSUSE-13.1-KDE-Live-x86_64.iso of=/dev/sdb). Same problem.
Then I burned the .iso to a DVD. Same problem.
I double checked the .iso I downloaded to the SHA1 signature on the download page, and it gives the correct result.
I have seen people on other boards having trouble with this KDE-Live installation as well; is anyone here getting these errors?
That’s it. Checking a USB with iso is likely to fail. The check is designed for CD and for DVD, not for USB.
When you first boot the live USB, it creates an additional partition (the “hybrid” partition) to save persistent data. That change is already enough for the iso check to fail.
No, the test to the DVD failing says it bad. If you feel some association from your previous test, just log out and back in to your desktop and then try the test again.

The check when run on a usb stick does not work.

That should have worked.

I don’t have any of the lives to test, and it would take me days to
download it.

Thanks Jim, I tried that, and with a different burning application as well. The sha1 checksum on both DVDs matches that given on the download page, but both return “ISO check failed” on the media check.

That the sha1 checksum matches means your download is good. The media
check failing means that the burn isn’t, though.
What do you get if you run an md5 or sha1 checksum on the burned media
itself?
Hi Jim, that’s what I did; “/dev/sr0” is the CD/DVD volume, the burned physical media itself, and its sha1 checksum matches that of the downloaded media, which matches the checksum given by the webpage.
The line below with the pound sign is the command used to generate a sha1 checksum for /dev/sr0 (this is in the console), and the next line is the output:

I’ve found that it depends - sometimes it will match, though to be sure
you can use dd with a length that equals the number of bytes in the
media. From memory:

If you download using metalinks, the program does automatic
verification, while the download goes at the maximum speed your network
is capable of (or less if you tell it so). If there is a download error
it automatically downloads the smallest chunk possible to correct the
error, and if the mirror is down it uses another, up to 5
simultaneously, even torrent.

Indeed. I’m downloading both full DVD images (I have 64 and 32 bits
computers to install) and both rescue images. That’s about 12 GB at
1Mb/s, and I can’t dedicate all of it to the download full time, I have
other things to use my network with.

I am having the same results as you. Have tried downloading the images on different computers and burning them over and over again, but the end results for the Live KDE 64 and 32 Bit openSUSE 13.1 is always still the same on checking installation media:
"ISO check failed
You have been warned"
The SHA1 and MD5 checksums were correct in all instances.
It would be good if someone can take this further, to confirm if the ISO images have indeed been compromised on the openSUSE servers, despite having the “correct” checksums?
In current brave new world, *anything *is possible nowadays…
As for the full DVD images, both the 32 Bit and 64 Bit KDE openSUSE 13.1 reported:
“No errors”
at the end of the installation media check on boot up of the respective DVDs. However, the process of media checking looks different for both the “Live” and “Full” media versions.
It would also be good if someone from the community can comment on this…i.e. is the checking process more “robust” for the full DVD media as compared to the Live media? Is it a different process in the first place?

How did you burn the images ant where?

Not AFAIK.
