<font size="+1">Now, in the middle of me typing this, it just
flipped to be sideways right, then flipped back sideways left.<br>
Weird.<br>
<br>
I tried:<br>
xrandr -o normal<br>
and it did flip back to normal (took me a few tries - I had to
look up xrandr --help to get the correct command, and typing with
my head twisted sideways had me making errors)<br>
<br>
I just hope I don't have to do this too often...<br>
<br>
Yeah, this is a new clean install - I normally use Ubuntu Studio,
as I like xfce, but thought I'd try the new gnome thing.<br>
<br>
The only thing I can think of is that I installed
gnome-shell-extensions because it was supposed to allow me to try
different gnome themes (but it didn't - that option is still
grayed out in the settings, so maybe something went wrong with
that)<br>
<br>
D'oh! Just flipped upside down. Damn. I saw the sideways thing a
couple of times with my Ubuntu Studio login page lately, but never
once it got going. Maybe it's a hardware problem? <br>
OOOF! Sideways again!!! F**K!<br>

<pre wrap="">Yeah that checks... Try running `xrandr --rotate normal`. It _should_ go back to normal. But we need to figure out what's making it do that.
It almost sounds like dbus is reporting your screen to be rotated, and the gnome settings daemon (you're using gnome I assume?) is triggering the randr plugin to refresh its config.
Is this a clean install?
I couldn't find anything obvious on launchpad, so maybe a stray key binding?On May 10, 2018 7:31 PM, "Dayringer, Charles" <a class="moz-txt-link-rfc2396E" href="mailto:dayringer@Izzy.net"><dayringer@Izzy.net></a> wrote:

sometimes it blanks out & then goes upside down for a bit, then blanks
out & goes back sideways.
when I go to the display settings, there is no option for rotation,
although there is supposed to be.

What happened?
HP pavilion laptop - I've been running various distros fine on this machine for a couple of years, I don't know how to get it to stay horizontal. What can I do?
