upgrade problem with chroot

If you have to re-sume an interrupted upgrade in a KDE-Neon installation, and the only possible way is to use chroot, it could happen that you cannot use pkcon update (nor apt update).

In this case you could try with apt full-upgrade

I tried it successfully (2024-08-23).

Verify a KDE-Neon iso with a sig file

You have first of all to install the public-key of KDE-Neon:

  • downloading it (it is a text file such as armored-keys.asc)
  • and installing it gpg –import [your-downloaded-public-key-file]

Then you have to go into the folder where are both iso and sig files and give this command

gpg --verify [your-iso-file-name].iso.sig

You should see something like:

gpg: assuming signed data in 'neon-user-20200813-1119.iso'
gpg: Signature made �� 16:40:21 PKT �� 13 �������� 2020
gpg:                using RSA key 348C8651206633FD983A8FC4DEACEA00075E1D76
gpg: Good signature from "KDE neon ISO Signing Key <neon@kde.org>" [unknown]
gpg: WARNING: This key is not certified with a trusted signature!
gpg:          There is no indication that the signature belongs to the owner.
Primary key fingerprint: 348C 8651 2066 33FD 983A  8FC4 DEAC EA00 075E 1D76
