Hey guys I'm stuck in a tricky situation :D

Today I tried to rotate my touchscreen via adding a line in the libinput.config file. Something must have gone wrong because now when I boot just the terminal shows up and I can't get trough to the desktop.

  • Changing the boot options in [i]raspi_config[/i] to "B4 Desktop or B3 Desktop" doesn't work
  • startx[/i] didn't work, it gives me an "...fatal server error...no screens found..".
  • startlxde-pi[/i] gives me a "....WARNING ...... cannot open display"
  • I tried opening the [i]40-libinpt.config[/i] file but it seems to be empty which I really don't understand.
  • I tried manually typing the code into the empty [i]40-libinput.config[/i] file based on a version of this file I found on GitHub, but this also doesn't work. (Maybe it's because the file I found online was outdated, or I made a typing mistake or this file has nothing to do with my problem)
  • Connecting to my Pi via SSH worked once but only gave me a blue-screen.
  • I know the easiest way would be to write a new image to the sd-card but that isn't an option for me since 2 hours I sealed the housing of my PI so I can't really open it anymore to acces the sc-card. (please don´t ask why I sealed it (long story)

So if anyone is familiar with a problem like this, please help me out! ;)

  • Can you boot from usb and try fixing by rewriting the SD card from an image on the USB?
