Research direction

Start with the mint-iso-verify entry point and reproduce the freeze using lmde-7-cinnamon-64bit.iso, testing both the command-line and file-manager Verify paths. Trace the verification step after the checksum completes; done means the tool remains responsive and reports the valid ISO result.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

OS: LMDE7

To reproduce:

  1. Download the LMDE 7 iso lmde-7-cinnamon-64bit.iso
  2. Start mint-iso-verify by either:
    • running mint-iso-verify lmde-7-cinnamon-64bit.iso
    • right-click the .iso in the file manager and choose Verify
  3. The tool will start, and think for a bit while calculating the check sum, then the Verify button becomes available
  4. Click Verify
  5. The tool freezes, and must be killed - usually the GUI recognizes this and offers the option to force-quit or wait.

The ISO is valid, verfied via the second option on the relevant help page: https://linuxmint-installation-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/verify.html
