I have elementary OS Juno installed on my laptop and it automatically rotates the screen to upside-down. then i have to go to display to fix this problem. but it doesn't stays normal. Sometimes later it goes to upside-down again which is frustrating. On gnome3 there is a rotation lock button but I cannot find rotation lock button on Juno.
I don't need the screen rotation, how can I disable it completely?
This worked for me but I needed to apply at each start up:
$ sudo systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy.service
$ sudo systemctl disable iio-sensor-proxy.service
-- For persistance I needed this:
$ sudo apt-get remove iio-sensor-proxy
I have juno running in an HP EliteBook 8460p with the screen rotation problem when I tilt the keyboard. To stop this, this worked for me:
sudo systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy.service
Juno on Hp 8510w with screen rotation problem. I have tried: sudo systemctl disable iio-sensor-proxy.service, but command did not remove script /lib/systemd/system/iio-sensor-proxy.service
To disable it at startup, file was renamed:
sudo mv /lib/systemd/system/iio-sensor-proxy.service /lib/systemd/system/iio-sensor-proxy.service_disabled
there is a rotation lock in juno available under display in the system settings.
This one worked for me
xrandr -o normal
Elementary doesn't have a screen orientation setting AFAIK, but you can try the following in the terminal:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.orientation active false
I kinda like screen rotation :)
sudo apt-get remove iio-sensor-proxy solved this annoyance for me, Thank you!
This worked for me:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchscreen orientation-lock true
