You can also delete the encrypted value in the file /etc/shadow after the user name on your ubuntu MATE 16.04 LTS partition (/dev/sdb8) with your booted Ubuntu 12.04.5 LTS. ;-) After that, you don't need a password for the user.

Code: Select all cp -a * /mnt Reboot your AmigaONE X1000. After that you can try to boot ubuntu MATE from /dev/sdb8. Cheers, Christian Hi Christian, thank you for the detailed instruction.
