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. ---

Yes. Here are my notes I took for myself while doing it all. The GLD-80 firmware 1.61 is running Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) on Linux kernel 3.16. So, I did the following. ## Begin 1. Connect a keyboard and mouse to motherboard 2. After full bootup, press _CTRL+ALT+F2_ to get a login prompt 3. Login with user: _ubuntu/digital_ ## Enable SSH 1. sudo service ssh start 2. sudo update-rc.d ssh defaults 3. Disconnect keyboard/mouse and remote ssh ## Update apt repositories 1. clean up 2. sudo apt-get clean 3. sudo apt-get autoremove ## Install correct APT repositories 1. sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list 2. deb [Index of /ubuntu](http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) oneiric main restricted universe multiverse 3. deb [Index of /ubuntu](http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) oneiric-updates main restricted universe multiverse 4. deb [Index of /ubuntu](http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/) oneiric-security main restricted universe multiverse ## Install NTP 1. sudo apt-get install ntp 2. sudo nano /etc/ntp.conf 3. set server to _[pool.ntp.org](http://pool.ntp.org)_ ## Install NTP service 1. sudo update-rc.d ntp start 20 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 1 . 2. sudo service ntp status ## Set NTP Timezone: 1. sudo dpkg-reconfigure tzdata 2. sudo service ntp restart ## Change Hostname 1. sudo nano /etc/hostname 2. sudo nano /etc/hosts ## Install htop 1. sudo apt-get install htop
