Problem trying to install Pop OS due different checksum

Suspeg · 03-26-2021, 10:49 AM

Hello, I haven't found another sub forum to ask this.

I'm trying to install Pop OS (no NVIDIA). I have downloaded several times and always the checksum SHA256 is different that the checksum they show in their website.

The SHA256 in Pop OS website for iso 20.04 LTS is:

Code:

SHA256 Sum:
68ffcb9d131ff554bfb68abd3956b0a6f6eafec497bdae5581bd5341a6dd2b98

and when I downloaded and verify SHA256 I get this one:

Code:

dd15fc489ab12b215de52a16df2cccbd77ca50d4aec0c3f379d8de35dc9cf824

And when I try to run/install that iso in VirtualBox or VMware I get error below:

Code:

SOLINUX 6.04 EDD 20190226 EHDD Copyright (C) 1994-2015 H. Peter Anvin et al

Failed to load ldlinux.c32
Boot failed: press a key to retry... I

So, it seems the ISO is corrupt.

How to fix this, or can be downloaded from other side? Thanks

PS: I asked in superuser site already and any answer.

Unfortunately, Pop!_OS is not on the LQ ISO list. But DistroWatch maintains torrent archive for many distribution releases. Pop!_OS 20.04 is among them.

Thanks so much for sharing the link. It seems is an old version and is not LTS, but I'll try it anyway.
