I’m not sure if I’m actually doing something wrong but nothing is being rotated.
Fresh install of the latest Raspi OS Lite (64 bit) Trixie on a Raspi 5 8GB
No changes necessary to any cfg to have video output (with bookworm I had to add a line to the cmdline.txt)
Install of Anthias appears to be flawless using the latest/master choice in the menu.
Neither local img assets, vid assets or web assets seem to be rotating. Not even the splash screen or the network QR code screen.
Are you flashing the disk image using Raspberry Pi Imager? If so you are likely running into a bug in Pi Imager related to the compression. This has been fixed in the latest version of Pi Imager.
With regards to local install, we have tested this on Pi 5 (we have one in the test bed).
Make sure you are pulling the very latest image, as there were some fixes related to that today.
Hi! I was using imager 2.0.7. I’ve now installed the 2.0.9, imaged OS Lite 64 bit.
It just got done installing and rebooting but the same behaviour appears to persist. It does not rotate no matter what I adjust it to.
Another attempt to check if it’s working: I installed BalenaEtcher, got the last img.zst. Extracted the .img and flashed it.
I went to settings, resolution is seen as 1920x1080, set the rotation to 90 and pressed reboot. After reboot I see nothing being rotated. Is there a way to fetch detailed logs?
Thanks for the detailed testing, it helped pin this down. We have confirmed the cause: on the Pi 5 the screen rotation setting is not being applied, so this is a real bug, not something on your end. We have opened a tracking issue for it here: Screen rotation is a no-op on Raspberry Pi 5: `_is_wayland_board()` is x86-only · Issue #3044 · Screenly/Anthias · GitHub
Rotation does work on the Pi 3 and Pi 4 and on x86, it is specifically the Pi 5 that is affected. We will post back here once a fix ships. Sorry for the hassle in the meantime.
Thanks for confirming it wasn’t just me :'). It appears to be working now after the upgrade to the latest master
