In verifying the installation image, I type this line in the terminal $ gpg --verify guixsd-usb-install-0.12.0.x86_64-linux.xz.sig Please note that I borrowed this line from the instructions for the binary installation, but I am using it for the GuixSD verification. What i get is: gpg: non ci sono dati firmati gpg: can't hash datafile: errore durante l'apertura del file "non ci sono dati firmati" means "there are no signed data" "errore durante l' apertura del file" means "error during opening of the file" This is on Fedora 25 with an Italian locale Of course, this is the ls of the folder I run this line into $ ls Fedora-Workstation-25-1.3-x86_64-CHECKSUM Fedora-Workstation-Live-x86_64-25-1.3.iso guixsd-usb-install-0.12.0.x86_64-linux guixsd-usb-install-0.12.0.x86_64-linux.xz.sig Thanks for your patience
