Re: [Trisquel-users] Re : Having trouble rotating console screen

2018-04-14 Thread Patrick


Thanks again for responding to my post.

I don't know why I did not look at this file before posting, duh !

I know what is going wrong now. I posted awhile ago about how I was 
trying out Salix because I did not want systemd and that I was sad to go.


I haven't gone. I am tri-booting at the moment but in reality only using 
Trisquel.


Something is going wrong during the file generation. The 
"fbcon=rotate:1" is ending up without a closing double quote.


This is a bug if it's worth looking into.

For me, the problem is solved. I am going to re-install with just 
Trisquel. I have all of my data on another drive so it's easy to do.


Please see line 203 and the lines that came before it.

Have a great day-Patrick

What are the errors you get?



I have copied the results below,

I commented out the GRUB_HIDDEN_TIMEOUT at one point and this warning 
went away but the error at line 203 is still there. The grub file that I 
altered does not have a line 203


thanks
