Hi Sunil,

I get a command not found error

-------------- begin quote -------------
root at freebx:~# echo "DELETE FROM plinth_kvstore WHERE
key='firstboot_state';" | 
sqlite3 /var/lib/plinth/plinth.sqlite3                                   
-su: sqlite3: command not found                                          
root at freebx:~# echo "DELETE FROM plinth_kvstore WHERE
key='firstboot_state';" | 
sqlite /var/lib/plinth/plinth.sqlite3                                    
-su: sqlite: command not found                                           
root at freebx:~#

neither locate nor whereis show anything from a bin directory.  "man -k

Do I need to install something else?

Thanks,
