@johnnyboy you hit enter
then it saves the file

then 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

display_rotate=1

Isn’t display_rotate=1 landscape? Wouldn’t portrait be display_rotate=0?

scratching my head

My bad. Senior moment. :-)

@Mykle1

😔… 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?

[sdetweil]

@johnnyboy no… just that we TWO don’t know how to fix it…

@sdetweil

Ok… well can only thank you for your great help on this… at least I have an updated Pi.

Should I start a new thread asking about portrait mode? Doubt everyone is reading this thread and would comment on how to achieve that?

@johnnyboy updated pi? did u use my upgrade script?
