(old)Puppy Linux Discussion Forum

Hi everyone,

I've just started using Fatdog64 which turns out to be most excellent. However, I would like to use either GTKHash or GHasher to verify MD5 Checksums.

Does anyone know if there is a package available to download as I have scoured the forums and not been able to find one. I freely admit that I do not have the knowledge to put together a 64 bit version PET package so, if anyone else could point me in the right direction (or know of an existing package), I would be most grateful.

Thanks,
Ade

There you go. How to use (after installing the pet) - click a file, use "Open With" menu, and select "phash". Less flashy that GTKHash/GHasher, but gets the job done.

EDIT: Also works in other 32-bit puppies.

cheers!

Hi Jamesbond,

Nice one! i've installed your Pet and tried it out but something seems to be wrong with the output i receive. I seem to get an xdialog screen with a large amount of text but nothing that resembles a MD5Checksum. Hmmm, don't know where to go with this.

Can you cast any light on my problem? Am i doing something wrong?

Thanks for your help,
Ade

Updated. Uninstall the old one first. If you still get to see nothing, open terminal and type this in it: and let me know what you see.

Quality! Yes, this time it works so many thanks indeed.

I don't suppose you happen to know if this is going to be included in the next release of Fatdog?

Regards

No worries. Remind me when a new release is near - that is, when you see some alphas/betas/rcs for the new version being published. Meanwhile I'll upload this to the repo.

I'm surprised that these tools don't give the file length as well as the hash, since it would be easier to match the hash with a bad file if one could change the file size. Perhaps I'm wrong through. Maybe the file size is somehow embedded in the hash.
