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.

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
-
display_rotate=1
Isn’t display_rotate=1 landscape? Wouldn’t portrait be display_rotate=0?
scratching my head

My bad. Senior moment. :-)

😔… oh well… my new lease of life with my MM was very short lived.
My mirror is fixed in portrait… so having the system in Lanscape is of no use to me at all.
Surely not every user here is using MM in Landscape?
