Ok… got back in after a reboot… how do i enter display_rotate=1

Do i find a space and type it in… and how do i save that entry before re-booting?

sdetweil

@johnnyboy hit enter, add a new line, type the text, hit ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit

johnnyboy

@sdetweil

do i enter # before text, same as everything else in there or simply that text on its own?

johnnyboy

@johnnyboy

display_rotate=1

Then I click on Ctrl o… and it asks "file name to write: boot/config.txt

sdetweil

@sdetweil needs to be /boot/config.txt

sdetweil

@johnnyboy # is a comment, so whatever is after # on that line is ignored

johnnyboy

@sdetweil

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.

@johnnyboy you hit enter
then it saves the file

then u hit ctrl-x to exit the editor
