Verify Tails Signature in Terminal help

[LP]

Hi Darcy, Allan,
I am answering from another Laptop.
Thank you Both Very Much !
I will keep the support you gave me in my file under "very useful terminal
commands."

This laptop was able to verify the Signature no Problem, I guess the Ubuntu
Desktop needs a nuke and reload it seems broken.
We have been having many questions about it for a while now including
freeze ups.
Thanks again.
Chris.
