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

udonano/boot/config.txt

always a space between command and path

sudo nano /boot/config.txt

Thanks… 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=1

Do i find a space and type it in… and how do i save that entry before re-booting?
