The password is what you created when you did your hard drive installation.

If you can't remember it you can reset your password following the next steps:

  1. Reboot your computer / Turn your computer on.
  2. Hold down the Shift key at the start of the boot process to enable the GNU GRUB boot menu (if it does not show)
  3. Press ESC at the GNU GRUB prompt.
  4. Press e for edit.
  5. Use the Arrow keys to highlight the line that begins with kernel and press the e key.
  6. Go to the very end of the line and add rw init=/bin/bash
  7. Press Enter and then press b to boot your system.
  8. Your system will boot up to a passwordless root shell.
  9. Type in passwd gtc <-- your username
  10. Set your new password.
  11. Restart your system.

Good Luck.

The same process to 'restore' a password, but with pictures

. . . . . When I upgraded OpenCPN from 3.3X to 4.0 using instructions here, I lots all the original Plug-in's which came with it when I installed Navigatrix!

I never checked if the old and the new default OpenCPN plugin directories are in the same places, or if they have been moved.

The other question is if the old plugins are still compatible with 4.0.0 for whatever reason...I don't know, Things change. I'm not paying attention.

If there is neither the change in location, nor a change in attachment, it might be just a matter of reminding the new version what's going on.

Run the following command from the terminal:
Code:
uname -r
if it doesn't say 3.13.9-dsp then you should get the latest version of Navigatrix and everything will work.

If you want to attach files to posts the easiest procedure is to rename the file <original_file_name_with_extention.ext>.doc

That is, append the whole name+extension with .doc. For example, you want to attach a file called, kamikaze.sh; shell scripts are not allowed, as are a bunch of others. Rename it kamikaze.sh.doc and the machine will accept it.

Other people will have a clue what it is.

Thank you Moe, I think that tis is the problem! 3.8.11 the result!
Now, how I can update Navigatrix?

The easiest way is to download the new image, (download.php) and create a new USB or DVD.
