Linux login password for GLD-80

Hello,
I’ve opened up my GLD-80 mixer, Chrome edition and connected a monitor and keyboard. The system is running Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.16.1.ah.2. I’m at the login screen. What is the username and password? I want to play around, maybe install an NTP update process to keep the time updated automatically.

I’m not sure if you figured this one out, but I did. I do hope mods don’t get upset about this…

I wanted to do the same thing and also fix the DST issue. I found it is due to the locale that is set.

I pulled the SSD, did a block level copy. Now I have a full image if the SSD dies. I was also able to pull the Linux Shadow file, run it through a password cracker, and got the password of “digital”. Oddly enough, I feel like I remember seeing this password somewhere on the forums a very long time ago.

I do forget what the username was. It might have just been root, but it also may have been something else. I should be able to find it if root doesn’t work.

That works. I have full access to the OS now. I installed NTP and was also able to change the hostname on the network. Very helpful!

Was it really that easy to just install NTP? I figured I’d need to change the locale because DST settings for en_GB were different or something like that.
