Fresh Install

do i enter # before text, same as everything else in there or simply that text on its own?
-
display_rotate=1
Then I click on Ctrl o… and it asks "file name to write: boot/config.txt
-
@sdetweil needs to be /boot/config.txt
-
@johnnyboy # is a comment, so whatever is after # on that line is ignored
-
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 filethen u hit ctrl-x to exit the editor

Ok… but I just re-booted… then back into terminal… back into boot config.txt… and there is display_rotate=1 right at very top of the config.txt window in terminal…
I also looked into File Manager - Boot - and see there is another 2 x saved copys of config.txt docs…So it seems it did save, but not executed to portrait on re-boot?
-
@johnnyboy ok, I can’t help with that. I searched for instructions and passed them along… I don’t have any portrait on pi… I do on ubuntu, but they have a UI that does it live… click, push a button
