@johnnyboy install is for new, upgrade is for previous installed, get to latest
so you would have to rename the folders back before trying

we have a version update every 3 months… you can imagine the trouble folks run into

Yeah, I renamed original MM folder, and just started afresh with your Install script to give me a fresh start… just incase there were any bits that would take forever to find, then fix, on old MM…

just done the upgrade before seeing your reply, and obviously it reported that no modules found needing npm refresh.

Fingers x there is a Portrait fix going about, as cannot afford another build in Landscape mode

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

Ahhhhhhh… no, only the install… i shall go and see the upgrade script now.

Hi there guys

Can anyone help with instructions on how to rotate screen from Landscape, to Portrait?

Ive had help on this within another unrelated post here, but that fix will not work… by going into Terminal > Boot> Config.txt, and entering - display_rotate=1.

Version and OS — 2.11.0… Raspbian GNU/Linux 9.11 { Stretch }
RPi3

Thanks

@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?

@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 said in Fresh Install:

@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?

@sdetweil said in Fresh Install:

@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.

@sdetweil

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

display_rotate=1

Then I click on Ctrl o… and it asks "file name to write: boot/config.txt

@sdetweil

do i enter # before text, same as everything else in there or simply that text on its own?
