@bkeyport Yes… I reloaded Buster and it works just fine… thanks all for the help… I was going to try Jessie but couldn’t get it downloaded. The download kept failing right at the end of the download… So then I tried Buster. You guys are a godsend when we have problems… The question is who do the experts go to when the experts have problems they can’t figure out?? Hope you all have your experts you can rely on or maybe you don’t have problems you can’t figure out… All have a Merry Christmas and a great 2022…

@bkeyport Well I tried both ways display_rotate=right and display_rotate=1. Neither caused the screen to rotate… that’s what makes me think I’m missing something else… Don’t have the foggiest idea what it might be…
Dennis

@bkeyport I am running bullseye and I did the update and upgrade as suggested and a reboot but it didn’t change the rotation… I did the display_rotate=right and them rebooted… Still horizontal display after being rebooted…
Thanks for the suggestion though … at least I know I’m up to date…
Dennis N6NG

@n6ng I guess what I need to do is see a config.txt that actually works and I can see what is different from the one I’m using. If someone could post it here so I can see it. I can do the comparison. Thanks again… especially to Sam whose script to install the magicmirror worked flawlessly… Great aid in getting it up and running.
Dennis N6NG

@sdetweil No Sam… I did display_rotate=1 and that didn’t do anything… I just tried the display_rotate=right and rebooted and that didn’t rotate the screen either…
Dennis N6NG

@bkeyport Nope… I’m using a Raspberry Pi 3B+
I will try what you suggested and see if it works for the Pi 3…
Thanks
Dennis

Here I am again… Second MM and it’s somehow different from my first…
Loaded up following Sam’s instructions which worked perfectly.
I’ve got my MM working… However… I’m trying to rotate the screen.
Last time I made a MM I modified the boot/config.txt file and inserted a Display_Rotate=1 and it worked perfectly… this time I try that and it doesn’t change a thing… I tried several of the other ways mentioned in the forum that said would rotated the display and none of them worked. I’m using HDMI 1 on two different screens… One is a Samsung smart TV and the other is an ASUS computer monitor. No matter what I do, I can not get the screen to rotate. The config.txt file does list “display_auto_detect=1” but that is for DSI displays. Any suggestions? Thanks all…
Dennis

Thank you Sam
Dennis

If I were to reload this chip, what version would you suggest?

@sdetweil Thank you for what you knew…
Dennis Jacobson

Yes… the one I put in was the one I use for the PC I have in the same room as the MM.
And I used the same passphrase also…

@sdetweil Ok… I put in the Hostname and it rebooted, but nothing is showing in the right hand corner having to do with Network… I followed the directions and used letters and numbers as directed but it’s still not showing. Is there one more step I missed?
Dennis

Doesn’t show the Network option … Just the Raspberry Pi Configuration. When I choose; that option, I have an Interfaces option. I pick that one and have several options to enable and disable. One of which is SSH which I enable and it doesn’t do me any good.
I’m running the Debian version…

Doesn’t show the Ssid box in the corner… Just the bluetooth keyboard and the sound speaker and the time. which is incorrect…

No… I can’t connect to any web pages… It just say it can’t find the page I requested…
Dennis

That didn’t help… And yes the SSID changed
Dennis

Very nice … mush better than my first effort… good job.
Dennis

Thanks… I’ll let you know…

Hey all… Name is Dennis and my call is N6NG. It’s nice to put a picture on all the beautiful coding for the MagicMirror.
Been seeing the name MichMich for a long time now an never been able to even imagine what you would look like.
I do want to thank you for all the help in getting the MagicMirror up and going for me and many others in the Mirror business…
I do have one question and you probably have a good reason, but why is the MagicMirror group not part of the groups.io pages? I belong to a lot of lists that are there but it would be nice if the magicmirror.builders were there also.
So nice to see you and thanks for all your hard work…
Dennis N6NG

I had to change my wireless router. When I dd and rebooted the MagicMirror it can’t see the new wireless system.
It was working fine with the old routing information when I set it up initially. What do I have to do to get it back on the new address? I tried adding the new address for the new wireless address to the config.js file as described, but it did no good. It still doesn’t see it… Any suggestions?
Thanks all of you with smarts out there
Dennis N6NG
