[ubuntu] Hash doesn't match for CD install

http://ubuntuforums.org – Dell Inspiron 5150 w/ Windows XP Pro is running out of steam and has no room to grow. Not a HD problem nor Ram but OS problem. MS says I can't run Win7 (and most likely W8 ) so my only option was try Linux. Ubuntu seemed like a simple upgrade path but, boy, was that wrong! What is this nonsense about hash checking? I never had to do anyting remotely like that with any Windows package. And then the process doesn't work as advertised. This recommended program, winMd5sum, either doesn't know how to count or the online hash list is wrong. After two tries and most of a day and a half it still can' (Hardware)

What is this nonsense about hash checking? I never had to do anything remotely like that with any Windows package.

I've looked into this ages ago and read lots on it but can't find the explanation of why it can't be done. An example will make it easier to understand my question and to keep things simple we will base it on a hashing algorithm that doesn't use a salt (LanMAN).

Say my password is "Password". LANman will hash this and store it in the DB.

I'm looking into the security protocols for a large piece of corporate software. Files arrive containing sensitive data bearing a CRC32 hash total that was run on the data alone. They also contain second CRC32 hash that was run on the first hash string plus the password of the person who assembled the data.

I am trying to download ubuntu for the first time to replace windows on an old computer. I have tried 3 different servers and 4 different versions, but can't get the hash to match up after I download. Any help for a new kid on the block would be greatly appreciated.

I have mutli threaded application with worker threads, I'm using a hash table to route messages between two opend sd(socket descriptores), each thread is waiting with epoll_wait for a new connection so when new sd is created it will be added to the hash and it will start routing messges. is it ok to remove from the hash with no mutex lock?

I have a lot of iso-files downloaded from internet. I want to check the hash from my Ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10. Is there any application on Ubuntu to check the MD4, MD5, SHA-1, and CRC hash?

I need the CRC hash-checker to check my Windows 8 iso files.

I'm running a small (20 users, 30 mailman-lists) server with postfix. I think it's configured fine, more or less. I spent 2 days reading up on all kinds of material on postfix configuration, but I couldn't find any list of measures that are actually safe to enable/disable.

I have a problem with my Apache Webserver, I got 2 environments: Development and Production. Both have the same configuration, but the first one sends the HTMLs exactly as they've been created, the second one doesn't send exactly the same file.

hello,

i am new to scripting and would like to know how to return a hash table from a sub routine. i tried the following,

Code: my %hash_function = (); hash_function = &return_hash(); sub return_hash {     my %hash = ();       ///populate the hash     return %hash; } but it dosent seem to work. Anything wrong in this??
