(I edited it twice to make sure it was correct because I got a message saying "|" couldn't be read or wasn't allowed?

Then I entered -
cd /usr/bin
sudo nano

The nano thing came up again and entered -
cd /var/lib/gps"
rm nvd_data
rm gps_last_saved_report
sudo shutdown now
Saved that as "fixgps"

Then, I tried to enter "fixgps" but it said something permission denied. Then I tried rewriting the "cat var..." again and this time, when I tried saving it as .profile, it said permission denied again, WTF?
In a terminal run "ls -al /var/log/gps-clockd.log". It should be "-rw-r--r-- root root" which will allow all to read.

After saving fixgps you needed to run "sudo chmod 755 fixgps" while still in the dir /usr/bin.
