https://raspad.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq/RasPad3-FAQ.html#q-the-direction-of-the-display-does-not-change-with-the-direction-of-the-screen
when i type the command to calibrate i get this
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo auto-rotator calibrate
sudo: auto-rotator: command not found
i am sorry to be so much trouble!
ok try
sudo auto-rotator install
here is what i get
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ sudo auto-rotator install
sudo: auto-rotator: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $
@elijah keller ok thats very odd,
cd..
cd /usr/local/bin
dir

pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd..
bash: cd..: command not found
pi@raspberrypi:~ $ cd /usr/local/bin
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/local/bin $ dir
raspad-auto-rotator rotate-helper
pi@raspberrypi:/usr/local/bin $
@elijah keller oh dear god they have changed that filename too
try this command now.
sudo raspad-auto-rotator install
sudo raspad-auto-rotator install

pi@raspberrypi:~ $
I'm getting that error now
I am so sorry for all the trouble
@elijah keller not your fault raspad have changed there script and not done it very well, what you need to do is go to that location and create a blank file called " config " and then run the command again.
I am so sorry I am a beginner at this stuff
so went to files and clicked on auto rotator and then created a new file called config, is tat what you needed? get back to you tomorrow
@CerberusStyle hi, so I'm still getting an error...
the location was in the error message " /home/root/.raspad-auto-rotator/ " so enter these commands
cd /home/root/.raspad-auto-rotator/
if it says that the location doesnt exist then type this
sudo mkdir /home/root/.raspad-auto-rotator/
and then go to that new lcoation with
cd /home/root/.raspad-auto-rotator/
so now that you are in that directory (dir) you can run this command to make the needed file.
sudo nano config
this will open nano with a blank file called " config " to save this file press " ctrl + o " then " enter "
to exit out of Nano press " ctrl + x "
now run the calibrate command again and it should work.
P.S. Dont write multiple messages, all that does it ding me multiple time and that gets annoying very fast and i always answer question it just takes time as this is not my job and i do it out of goodness of my heart in my free time.
i am sorry to bug you again but i am still getting an error

@elijah keller try this, the raspad staff really need to look at their script, so poorly designed.
sudo mkdir .raspad-auto-rotator
and then go to that new lcoation with
cd .raspad-auto-rotator
so now that you are in that directory (dir) you can run this command to make the needed file.

ok thanks so much, i will try it!

pi@raspberrypi:~/raspad-auto-rotator $
@elijah keller do a full fresh install of Raspberry Pi os and start from scratch, once installed follow https://docs.raspad.com/en/latest/install_rotating_screen_service.html again.
the system has got itself completely confused and thats only way to fix it now sadly.
@elijah keller read up one message and follow that, joys of linux sometimes you just have to start again.
you mean the commands at the top
udo mkdir .raspad-auto-rotator
?
@elijah keller no, this one.

ps i'm so sorry for the inconveinenc!
