[Bug 1316901] Re: Wrong screen rotation at login
I, too, have this problem. I'm running Linux Mint 17.1 which is based on
*buntu 14.04.
I have a ThinkPad X220-tablet. As I recall, I had a similar issue with
earlier editions of Mint
based on *buntu 12.04.

Now that tablets and 2-in-1 laptops are fashionable, this user would
appreciate some attention paid to the various aspects of Thinkpad X60t, X61t,
X200t, X201t, X220t, and later models. X11/Xorg configuration has evolved from
manual edits to auto-magic configuration making it very difficult for folks to
make reasonable, much less optimal, use of their now very cool workstations.

[Bug 1316901] Re: Wrong screen rotation at login
I think I found a workaround: an init-script, that removes monitors.xml and monitors.xml.backup on shutdown and reboot. Start Gedit as root. sudo gedit Copy the following lines #!/bin/sh rm /home/USERNAME/.config/monitors.xml rm /home/USERNAME/.config/monitors.xml.backup rm /var/lib/lightdm/.config/monitors.xml rm /var/lib/lightdm/.config/monitors.xml.backup exit 0 Exchange USERNAME with your own and save the script in /etc/init.d. File-name doesn't matter. I called it orientation. After that make the script executable. sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/orientation And create a link to the script, so it gets executed on shutdown an reboot. sudo update-rc.d orientation start 1 0 6 . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316901 Title: Wrong screen rotation at login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lightdm/+bug/1316901/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks, I will test it. Rather than entering my username, I put an asterisk *, as it can be applied to all the users anyway.

[Bug 1316901] Re: Wrong screen rotation at login
I think I finally found the reason for the problem. Everytime the orientation is changed the new orientation is saved in monitors.xml while the original monitors.xml is saved as monitors.xml.backup. By playing around with chattr I found out that this causes Ubuntu to try to restore monitors.xml out of monitors.xml.backup after every login. So if I turn the screen to the left and then back to normal, monitors.xml says orientation=normal and monitors.xml.backup says orientation=left. After the login Ubuntu overwrites monitors.xml with the backup and uses its configuration and turns the screen to the left. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316901 Title: Wrong screen rotation at login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome3/+bug/1316901/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1316901] Re: Wrong screen rotation at login
The thread in the Ubuntu forum was created by me. :D I'm using Ubuntu 14.04 on my a tablet and whenever I turn the screen with the accelerometer, the screen is turned after the next login again. That even happens if I turned the screen back to normal again before. If I delete monitors.xml everything works fine. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316901 Title: Wrong screen rotation at login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome3/+bug/1316901/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Small addition: the monitor.xml file is modified during the login process. I rebooted and logged in in a terminal before logging in with the graphical interface and the line 13 in the monitor.xml file was still on normal. Then I logged in with the graphical interface and the line 13 was on right position. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1316901 Title: Wrong screen rotation at login To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/meta-gnome3/+bug/1316901/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
