Do not know about ssh, before I put the file in the auto start folder I did use the desktop preferences to rotate screen it just went blank orange rebooting it went back to normal ( I believe it does that goes to default on startup) . Thinking it may be a graphics driver problem but how do recover to get a display again ( how do I delete the file I added). can you put the SD card in a windows PC and do it from there? Any help would be appreciated as I had just got the mirror set up nice for me apart from portrait mode don’t want to lose my settings…. -
@borg137 don’t know on windows access, I only have Linux machines now
i don’t do the start up file stuff anymore… I use pm2 to auto launch whatever

Using parragon Linux software on PC ,Pi SD card plugged in deleted the rotate right file which I had created as per the magic mirror documentation. Now mirror back to normal and working. Will investigate why the rotate command on the desktop does not work .
