@johnnyboy well, the last two steps didn’t finish, pm2 (autostart) and screen saver

Will do those

https://clevertap.com/blog/using-raspberry-pi-to-build-a-commercial-grade-wall-information-dashboard/#:~:text=To change the orientation%2C set,display_rotate%3D3 and reboot again.Ok, I went to the Boot/config.txt… entered the display_rotate=1 and tried to save but says cannot?
Rebooted but still in landscape and my entry not saved in boot.Where am I going wrong?
-
@johnnyboy stuff in /boot, /etc are protected, so you have to use the sudo comand
nano is the editor
sudo nano /boot/config.txt -
@sdetweil
Sorry … I must have missed something?Pi@raspberrypi:~ S sudo nano/boot/config.txt
sudo: nano/boot/config.txt : command not found
Pi@raspberrypi:~ S sudonano/boot/config.txt
Bash: sudonano/boot/config.tx : no such file or directory

FWIW, I would have started with a fresh image. whenever I’m working with a system that’s not been used in a while, I grab what I can and start the OS over fresh, it just seems to work better.

@BKeyport
Am I entering the correct text into Terminal?
Is path right? Is spacing right?Unsure here so trying all sorts to no avail
-
@johnnyboy said in Fresh Install:
udonano/boot/config.txt
always a space between command and path
sudo nano /boot/config.txt -
@BKeyport he has a some mods… so, trying to help get it up and running and find them

sudo nano /boot/config.txtThanks… 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
-
@johnnyboy
Ok… got back in after a reboot… how do i enter display_rotate=1Do i find a space and type it in… and how do i save that entry before re-booting?
-
@johnnyboy hit enter, add a new line, type the text, hit ctrl-o to save, ctrl-x to exit
-
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?
