Wrong link to download Tumbleweed 42.3 ?

English Install/Boot/Login
1

Hello there,

Yesterday I went to the page https://software.opensuse.org/distributions/tumbleweed to download the Tubleweed edition and I clicked the “direct link” in DVD/USB Stick

The name of the downloaded file is openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170913-Media.iso

When I download the sha256 checksum file for the same ISO I get the file openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170924-Media.iso.sha256

When I verify the checksum of the ISO file it doesn’t match!

So the question is: The downloaded file is the wrong file or it has a wrong name?

Thank you.

Hi and welcome to the Forum :slight_smile:
Tumbleweed is Tumbleweed and uses a date for the snapshot release eg YYYYMMDD, 42.3 is openSUSE Leap… two different releases :wink:

So the error you see may be the gpg part (we can’t see what you see, it helps to post the output in code tags), does in the output show OK against the iso image name, the other 14 lines can be ignored, for example;


sha256sum -c openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20160709-Media.iso.sha256

openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20160709-Media.iso: OK
sha256sum: WARNING: 14 lines are improperly formatted

Hi
I also see they are both at 20170925, so might have been a transient issue with the new snapshots being released (after a few weeks hiatus) and syncing out to mirrors.

Hi,

Tumbleweed is Tumbleweed and uses a date for the snapshot release eg YYYYMMDD, 42.3 is openSUSE Leap… two different releases :wink:

Yes, sorry, this is the first time I’ll use OpenSuse so I was looking for the differences between the two distributions and I mixed Tumbleweed with Leap in the post.

Like I said in the main post when I download the tumbleweed from the direct link here

https://anonimage.net/db/full/VWv2ug0c.png

The name of the downloaded file is openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170913-Media.iso

When I download the sha256 checksum file for the same ISO I get the file openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170924-Media.iso.sha256

Why is this happening?

Also, where I can get the sha256 for the snapshot I’ve downloaded?

Thank you.

Tumbleweed updates quite frequently, the current versions are:

http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170925-Media.iso
http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170925-Media.iso.sha256

http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ no longer holds

openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170924-Media.iso.sha256

but I guess you might still find it on a mirror thats not yet updated

just checked and it’s on:

Edit:
My bad … sorry I see you wanted the checksum for openSUSE-Tumbleweed-DVD-x86_64-Snapshot20170913-Media.iso

Hi
Alas, one of the effects of a rolling release it will be gone since the whole repository/iso images updated… it’s not available for the 20170913 snapshot as no history is kept.

Thank you guys for your quick responses.

I’ll download again the current snapshot but this time I’ll double check that the sha256 file match the iso file.

For some unknown reason yesterday the link to the .iso and .sha256 files were different.

PS: By the way, is it possible to edit the “title” of the post?

I find it better to go directly to http://download.opensuse.org/tumbleweed/iso/ (scroll down past the “changes.*.txt”) and choose the files from there.

Not by us mere mortals… :wink:
