Creating importer: Failed to invoke skopeo proxy method OpenImage: remote error: cryptographic signature verification failed: invalid signature when validating ASN.1 encoded signature ___
I was banging my head against my keyboard for an hour thinking that I broke my system until I saw this.
I don’t blame the guy for being human and it’s free software etc, but this is reality bad optics for immutable distros. If my nephew and grandma are going to need manual interventions like this one, then might as well use a less restrictive system. The promise of seamless and easy updates are the main draw for me.
It would be much appreciated if UniBlue made the update process more robust and more resistant to such mistakes.
(also curl piped into sudo bash is way more common than it should be)
They messed up the signing on the server side.
They are using all non-stable technology. The Github action and cosign may be normal, but Fedora doesnt release their container images (even though they are the ones that uBlue consumes).
The updating mechanism is fine, this is a security measurement. If the signing failed, it shouldnt update as this could mean malware.
Lol
Wow! Another reason to keep supporting uBlue. That’s how leadership is supposed to be. He did something wrong and instantly apologizes deeply and gives us a simple solution. I’m very proud and my trust is strengthened, thanks!
I would like to share the fixing script here, but don’t feel comfortable anyone executing something I copy-pasted because of security. Go and read the letter yourself, it will take literally one minute.
I need to send this to myself in the AM as a reminder
I installed Bazzite on a Dell latitude just to check it out… The son of a bitch booted once, let me install updates then never booted again.
