03:03:14 n​eospal2:matrix.org: I am assuming this is the shasum hash of my downloaded binary. At this point I am confused about what I should be comparing this to and where I would find that Information.
03:03:16 n​eospal2:matrix.org: The Binary Verification in the monero procedure says "The output will look like this, but will be different for each binary file. Your sha257 hashshould match the one listen in the hashes.txt file for your binary file.
03:10:10 j​pk68:matrix.org: Yes, what you got is the hash of the binary. Where did you get the hash that starts with 8d61... from?
03:10:57 j​pk68:matrix.org: It looks like you are comparing the hash from your download (v0.18.4.5) with the correct one for v0.15.0.1
04:11:04 n​eospal2:matrix.org: Thank you! I will see if I can unravel that. Not sure at this point where the v0.18.4.5 came from. When I first looked at getting the monero wallet, I downloaded it from the "Downloads" page for the GUI Monero. Could I have downloaded the monero wallet a second time with with the terminal command: "wget -0 monero-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2 https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/li<clipped message>
04:11:05 n​eospal2:matrix.org: nux64"? That doesn't explain the difference in version numbers though. Guess I am at a loss to know where the v0.18.4.5 came from. By the way can you tell me what "cli" designates in the terminal command "wget -0 monero-linux-x64-v0.15.0.1.tar.bz2 https://downloads.getmonero.org/cli/linux64"?
18:28:27 n​eospal2:matrix.org: I am wondering if the problem stems from my initial Download. I consider myself to be a beginner with Monero and as such when I started researching your web site to get the Monero wallet I went to the Downloads page and chose to download the Monero GUI Wallet (Simple mode) for Linux. I have some past experience with using the terminal commands and find them convenient to use when <clipped message>
18:28:28 n​eospal2:matrix.org: the commands are available. I see under the "Downloads" paragraph there is a reference to "Current Version: 0.18.4.5-Flourine Fermi (release notes)" the text goes on to say; There are also packages available for multiple Linux distributions. See the list on Github. I am running Linux Ubuntu v24.04. So it appears that I downloaded version 0.18.4.5 of the Monero wallet initially. mo<clipped message>
18:28:30 n​eospal2:matrix.org: ving on to the "Verify" paragraph a reference to guides that are available for the verification procedure. The text states that "Two guides are available to guide you through the verification process: How to verify your Monero CLI/GUI is safe on Windows (beginner)- How to use the command line to verify your Monero CLI/GUI software is safe (advanced)." I reviewed the list and assum<clipped message>

18:58:56 n​eospal2:matrix.org: I proceded to the paragraph entitled "How to use the command line to verify your Monero CLI/GUI software is safe (advanced)" I proceeded to the section "Verify and import Signing key" this is where I found the terminal commands I was looking for. I proceeded with my verification by following these commands. As you know, I encountered a problem with downloading the hashes.txt files<clipped message>
18:58:58 n​eospal2:matrix.org: which tou helped me with (replacing the www with web in the URL). After correcting the URL I was able to download the hashes.txt file and successfully proceed through the verification process up to the point of comparing the sha256hash. At this point I was stalled out because the hash I received in my verification did not match that shown in the monero procedure and I did not hav<clipped message>
18:59:00 n​eospal2:matrix.org: e anything else to compare it with. So I am wondering if I created a problem in the beginning by downloading the Monero GUI Wallet (Simple mode) for Linux in the beginning. Should I do back and delete everything associated with this initial attempt and start over? If so can you give me some guidence on how to proceed. Thank you again for your kind assistance.
18:59:39 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: -O is to write what to save the file as
18:59:58 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: You named your download `..v0.15..."
19:02:20 plowsof: Stackoverflow answer from years ago or getmonero old docs?
19:03:23 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: `cli` indicates that you are downloading the [C]ommand [L]ine [I]nterface tools -- monerod (node), monero-wallet-cli (cli wallet), monero-wallet-rpc (cli rpc wallet), etc. Theres like 10 programs included in the archive
19:03:25 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: Since youre in the GUI room, i assume you wanted the GUI wallet. In which case, you should be using the GUI link
19:23:24 n​eospal2:matrix.org: Thank you, I must confess I am confused as to where I should be in this arena and how communication should be conducted. Without being familiar with the protocol I just picked "Rooms" that I thought might be able to offer some assistance with Monero (Haveno, Monero GUI, and Monero Outreach) I have much to learn.

19:26:52 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: 😭
19:26:59 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: But yeah, GUI is fine to start with. You dont _have_ to run a node. You can always do it later

19:27:57 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: "Trezor Safe 7 is not trivial to implement in monero due to new "trezor host protocol", currently there is no work being done to implement it."
19:27:58 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: ffs
19:28:00 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: will feather devs do this or something
19:28:11 j​pk68:matrix.org: My bad
19:28:21 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: does it require a blockchain update or only on the wallet end
19:29:12 j​pk68:matrix.org: What do you mean by 'blockchain update'? Monero would not hardfork just to support a hardware wallet
19:29:27 j​pk68:matrix.org: As it says in the issue, the protocol is difficult to support
19:29:54 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: i know but like does it require larger changes in moneros codebase or ia it only a wallet thing
19:30:48 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: billions must slavecode to support my wallet because my mom says im special
19:30:55 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: trezor changed stuff and "our" trezor guy isnt available
19:30:56 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: Monero codebase and wallet are the same thing
19:30:58 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: Yes, monero codebase needs to change to support trezors new protocol
19:31:18 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: well, i will be patiently waiting, thank you
19:32:41 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: I would assume that the change would come along with carrot & fcmp
19:32:59 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: what was carrot again
19:33:20 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: we have too many vegetable named things
19:33:22 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: onion, dandelion, carrot
19:35:13 j​pk68:matrix.org: Last time I checked, dandelions were not a vegetable

19:41:12 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: Its new wallet addressing and keys
19:41:23 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: Hardware wallets will have to be updated to support it
19:41:32 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: huh
19:41:40 s​pacemarmot:monero.coffee: new wallet addresses and new private keys?
19:48:49 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: Yes
19:48:50 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: The new addresses are indistinguishable from the old ones, hut represent different keys (like the much anticipated outgoing view key)

20:12:53 j​pk68:matrix.org: Yes, all you need to do is (1) download the file and (2) make sure the hash of it matches the one listed
20:13:12 j​pk68:matrix.org: If you are downloading the wrong file then the hashes won't match

20:54:48 n​eospal2:matrix.org: older entitled "Downloads_Monero-secure, private, untraceable_files" and I do not see any hashes.txt file there. I must confess I am very confused.
20:55:23 j​pk68:matrix.org: Go here and click 'show hashes'
20:55:24 j​pk68:matrix.org: https://www.getmonero.org/downloads/#gui
20:55:45 j​pk68:matrix.org: And then get the sha256sum of your download. If it matches the one on the site then it's good.
21:07:57 n​eospal2:matrix.org: One last question 🥴. How does one extract the files and install the Monero wallet from the terminal?
21:08:59 j​pk68:matrix.org: tar -xf [filename]
21:10:33 3​21bob321:monero.social: Isnt it .bz format ?
21:10:58 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: And you dont install anything
21:13:01 o​murad:matrix.org: Yeah it's .tar.bz2, so extract with `tar -xjf [filename]`
21:14:08 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: You just run it with ./monerod (from within the extracted folder). If its GUI, you open thenfile manager, make the appimage executable, and double click it
21:14:10 o​frnxmr:xmr.mx: If its GUI, and you dont know what youre doing, just use the flatpak
21:14:39 j​pk68:matrix.org: Oh yeah, whoops
23:39:05 n​eospal2:matrix.org: Thank you again, yes, 'I don't know what I am doing' but with your help I am learning something. By the way what is "flatpak" and how would I use that?
23:41:08 j​pk68:matrix.org: Flatpak is a type of application format for Linux
23:41:15 j​pk68:matrix.org: You have to install its framework separately
23:41:27 j​pk68:matrix.org: The normal executable will work just fine, though
23:55:18 o​frnxmr:monero.social: Flatpak will auto-update etc
