General discussion • Re: Can't find config.txt - /boot/firmware/ is empty when access from other running PC

Its in /media/pi/bootfs/config.txt - assuming your username is "pi" and you are running a desktop.
Just place the SD card in a USB card reader on the running Pi.
You should see it auto mount and be given the chance to open each of the two file systems. One is bootfs (which is owned by "pi" and is writable) the other is rootfs (which is owned by root, but of course contains /etc and /home).
I found it but it is not writable.

Are you trying to use Mousepad to edit it?
While the bootfs partition is owned by "pi", config.txt is owned by root. So you need to edit it as root.
Open a console window:

Code:

sudo nano /media/pi/bootfs/firmware/config.txt
or

Code:

sudo mousepad /media/pi/bootfs/firmware/config.txt
Note that the file is in /boot/firmware/config.txt on the boot disc - it moved a while back
