Ok ive done this like 20 times before and im following the guide so i know that its not me 99%
I have downloaded the iso, derivative.pub and derivative.asc the iso asc the ico sha512sums and iso 512sums.sig.
6 files in total
I run gpg --verify-options show-notations --verify Kicksecure-.Intel_AMD64.iso.asc Kicksecure-.Intel_AMD64.iso
but i get
Can’t check signature Can’t check signature: No Public key
I run the signify sha512sum check with no problems so im guessing the file integrity is fine but pgp is broken for me. I am maining ubuntu 22.04 so there is that. It also spits unable to locate extrepo-offline-data when i try to install it but thats no issue since gpg --verify-options show-notations --verify Kicksecure-.Intel_AMD64.iso.asc Kicksecure-.Intel_AMD64.iso
produces Signature verified
You probably failed to import the signing key. Follow carefully the directions here:
(Note that the steps for importing the signing key are broken out into a separate article linked in the above article, so they’re easy to miss if skimming quickly.)
