      udonano/boot/config.txt

      always a space between command and path

      sudo nano /boot/config.txt
      

      Thanks… that got me in… i entered that txt in a space… rebooted… and still in landscape?

      Tried again, entered sudo nano /boot/config.txt … same as you say with spaces… but now the terminal text that wss within the config has gone… and at bottom it says [Directory ‘boot’ does not exist ]

      I then look in the boot folder, and i now have - config.tx… config.txt save 1… config.txt save 2… and config.tct save 3 and within all 3 saved ones, it shows - display_rotate=1

              display_rotate=1

                    Yeah… the text that says " File name to write: /boot/config.tx"
                    That is hard written in grey… below that it gives options… G get help C cancel M-D Dos Format M-M Mac format M-A Append M-P Prepend M-B Backup file ^ to files

                      @johnnyboy yes, just confirming the filename, you can change it if u need to… you can edit a NEW file and have NO name specified in advance…

                        So how do i proceed? If I click ^cancel, i go back to my entry… then as soon as i click ^o to save, it goes to thst part that says file name…
                        I cannot save and exit past there.

                        I cannot hit ^x to exit as it wont work there… as if i need to select an option from the boxes below… I can only select ^c to cancel and go back.
