ThinkPad Yoga 460 Auto-Rotation stoped working after suspension

[Dominik Viererbe]

The auto-rotation feature of my Laptop stoped working.

- screen orientation was in landscape mode
- closed the lid of my laptop
  => laptop entered suspension mode
- opened the lid
  => laptop was waking up
- screen orientation was in portait mode

I could not change the screen orientation by rotating the laptop physically nor change the orientation manually (the "Orientation" setting in the "Display Settings" Menu showed no dropdown menu). After a quick reboot everything worked fine.

This are the specs of my Device:

Could you add the journalctl log from the session where you had the issue?

[Dominik Viererbe (dviererbe)]

Here is the journalctl logs between 2023-05-02 13:30:00 and 2023-05-02 13:50:00 when the event happened.

I also have a picture of the event.

I think this bug is related to a hardware failure/feature in the hinge mechanism. I could reproduce the auto rotation lock at a certain angle of the hinge.

This still does not explain why I could not change the orientation manually (why the "Orientation" setting in the "Display Settings" Menu showed no dropdown menu)

I can not replicate the state when the "Orientation" setting in the "Display Settings" Menu shows no dropdown menu when clicked.

I will set this bug also to "Incomplete" for "gnome-shell (Ubuntu)"
