Solution for autorotation not working in some 2-in-1 laptops

alixvox · December 7, 2024, 12:38am

Hey guys, this is my first post on this forum, I just wanted to put this out there for anyone who encounters this problem in the future. I have Bazzite with Gnome dual installed with Windows on an HP Specre 2-in-1 laptop, and until recently, the autorotation was working out of the box on install. However, one day about 2 months ago it stopped working randomly.

The pre-installed iio-sensor-proxy and monitor-sensor tools were detecting monitor changes correctly, but the display itself wouldn’t change orientation. However, I fixed this bandaid-style by installing the Screen Rotate Gnome extension by shyzus. I’ll leave it up to any potential mods who read this if they want to further troubleshoot why it stopped working on default. Cheers y’all!

I think it’s this one:

Screen orientation auto-rotate not working since upgrading to DX 41 stable (SELinux denying iio-sensor-proxy access to accelerometer)

bug

### Describe the bug When laptop is folded to tablet mode, rotating the device …does not cause display orientation to change. ### What did you expect to happen? When laptop is in tablet mode, turning the device 90 degrees would cause the screen orientation to adjust to the device orientation. This was how it behaved before I upgraded to DX 41 + GNOME 47. ### Output of `bootc status` ```shell No staged image present Current booted state is native ostree Current rollback state is native ostree ``` ### Output of `groups` ```shell john wheel ``` ### Extra information or context SELinux seems to be stopping iio-sensor-proxy from getting write access to the accelerometer. This behavior (and the lack of working auto-rotate) is new since i rebased from DX 40 gts to DX 41 stable. Filesystem permissions for the sensors all seem to be -rw-r--r--. GNOME seems to recognize when the device is folded back, since touching a text input box brings up the keyboard when folded as a tablet, but not when folded as a laptop. iio-sensor-proxy version: `iio-sensor-proxy-3.5-5.fc41.x86_64` ``` ❯ rpm-ostree status State: idle AutomaticUpdates: stage; rpm-ostreed-automatic.service: last run failed Deployments: ● ostree-image-signed:docker://ghcr.io/ublue-os/bluefin-dx:stable Digest: sha256:bbead96c89e810857dadd0654e6580d3f69533a93b586f4c04f55dd6e26d6dfb Version: 41.20241117.3 (2024-11-17T15:49:59Z) LayeredPackages: mullvad-vpn ``` ``` ❯ journalctl -b | grep iio-sensor-proxy Nov 20 02:24:07 krillin systemd[1]: Starting iio-sensor-proxy.service - IIO Sensor Proxy service...
