Verify Tails Signature in Terminal help

[Allan]

Check ownership with:
ls -l /home/dad/.gnupg/gpg.conf

Like Darcy said, root probably isn't the owner so you get the unsafe
ownership warning.
However, you should still be able to verify signatures as root despite
this warning.

Your problem is the "file open error". Is the sig file in the right
folder? Keep in mind 'sudo cd' doesn't work because 'cd' isn't a
program. Just use 'cd'. Also, make sure you can read the file.

Check with:
ls -l /home/dad/tails-i386-0.23.iso.sig

Good luck, report back!
