It's been a few months since I last used my Raspberry Pi. About 6 or so. I forgot a lot.
Like, the root password.
Today, I needed to install a python package to run Chirp (which will run my new HF radio rig - if I ever get this update working).
Cannot remember my password. Nor, where I wrote down my password. Nor, much of anything.
And, after trying to get this corrected, I corrupted the SD card on which the OS was held.
So - now, I'm trying to download the NOOBS package, then re-install the system, then install the python update, then - and only then - install and run the Chirp app. And, get it to run my radio.
Which, I'm still learning how to use.
The good news/bad news - I made about 6-7 trips up and down the stairs to make the changes on my other computer. Good, because I needed the exercise. Bad, because - it took a lot of time.
Only after that did I realize that I could have just brought the laptop up to the attic.
I woke up feeling smart.
Not now, brother. Not now.
You got more exercise this way.
