[Linux] Can't verify GPG signature

See original GitHub issue

Hello,

I can’t verify the Electrum download:

Try 1 (copy ThomasV.asc from github and pasting in local created file ThomasV.asc):


gv  ~  Downloads  gpg --import ThomasV.asc
gpg: key 2BD5824B7F9470E6: "Thomas Voegtlin (https://electrum.org) <thomasv@electrum.org>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1

gv  ~  Downloads  gpg --verify ThomasV.asc electrum-4.0.9-x86_64.AppImage 
gpg: verify signatures failed: Unexpected error

Try 2:

gv  ~  Downloads  gpg --keyserver keys.gnupg.net --recv-keys 6694D8DE7BE8EE5631BED9502BD5824B7F9470E6
gpg: key 2BD5824B7F9470E6: 13 duplicate signatures removed
gpg: key 2BD5824B7F9470E6: 388 signatures not checked due to missing keys
gpg: key 2BD5824B7F9470E6: "Thomas Voegtlin (https://electrum.org) <thomasv@electrum.org>" not changed
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg:              unchanged: 1
gv  ~  Downloads  gpg --verify ThomasV.asc electrum-4.0.9-x86_64.AppImage
gpg: can't open 'ThomasV.asc': No such file or directory
gpg: verify signatures failed: No such file or directory

I can’t verify the download. How can I do this?

Thank you.

Please see: https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum-docs/blob/master/gpg-check.rst

For example:

$ gpg --verify electrum-4.0.9-x86_64.AppImage.asc electrum-4.0.9-x86_64.AppImage

Thanks for checking. For some reason it works today. It gives the message “untrusted,” so I marked it as trusted according to the youtube. Yes, on March 11, 2021, I downloaded electrum-4.0.9.dmg.asc (833 bytes) from the electrum downloads page; and that is what I couldn’t get to work. I meant to post this re: MacOS rather than Linux sub.

Have you downloaded the .asc keyfile from electrum downloads page?
