md5sum No such file or directory

Asked by Mark Hamilton

Binary package hint: gnome-terminal

I upgraded to ubuntu 8.10 and now when i try to check md5sum in the terminal it says No such file or directory, all i have every done was type in the terminal md5sum and paste in where the iso file is and it showed the md5sum. I have tried md5sum -c and that has the same results. Thanks

but md5sum --help works?
could you also try md5sum /usr/bin/vim
just to make sure you entered the path of an existing file.

Thanks,

Martin

Thanks, yes md5sum --help works and md5sum /usr/bin/vim gives me a
number. I have tried all options with the help and still can't check the
md5sum on the files i download. It still shows No such file or
directory. Now what? Thanks,
Mark

you probsbly do not enter valid path.
Do you know how to use tab-autocompletion?
Using this you can be sure md5sum gets the correct path.

Update, I was told that this was not a bug in gnome-terminal, well i installed xfce4-terminal and it works great, so that tells me that would be a bug in gnome-terminal ?l So i will be using xfce4-terminal. Thanks
