If you use a distribution with the #Phosh UI on your #PinePhone and miss automatic rotation, check this project out: https://gitlab.com/philprog/phosh-autorotate
@linmob
Oooooh... Shiny!
That's the thing I miss the most in Phosh right now.
From what I can see, no recompiling of Phosh is needed, which is a plus.
Will definitely test...
@linmob On Arch autorotate seems to work just fine but this is a really handy tool for some distros :D
@linmob Ah very cool. Always wondered why Mobian didn't come with autorotate. Checking this out now, thanks! :)
@RTP It does not come with it because the MR that implements it did not meet upstreams quality requirements, see https://twitter.com/dos1/status/1376712290817474567.
@linmob why not contributing those changes upstream :) ?
@thibaultamartin
1. This is not my project.
2. There has been a MR https://source.puri.sm/Librem5/phosh/-/merge_requests/434 for a while, that has been applied in Manjaro Phosh and #DanctNIX for a while despite causing issues. According to a Purism developer it's now reached a quality so that it can been be merged soon and will land upstream.
@linmob fyi I just installed the latest image of arch with phosh and auto rotation works by default
@djsundog That's, um..., nice, but not a necessary message: https://linmob.net/2021/01/09/my-setup-with-danctnix-archlinuxarm.html
Thanks anyway 🙂
@linmob that's um, great. Don't worry, I'll not try to let you know about anything again. Ass.
@djsundog I didn't mean it that way. Did not want to offend you, apparently I have not told everybody all the time that I run arch, btw lately.
@linmob this reminds me of the early days of Android 🤩 good times
