Description Matthias Clasen 2016-12-05 17:27:33 UTC
I have a 4th gen Lenovo Carbon X1, and gnome-shell shows an orientation lock icon in its status menu, even though the screen doesn't actually rotate when I flip the laptop.

With the help of Bastien, we tracked this down to the acer-wmi driver being...subpar. The issue is being discussed here:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/platform-driver-x86/index.html#09227

It would be great if the Fedora kernel team could help getting this resolved. Since we now have iio-sensor-proxy and good support for accelerometers and such devices in the desktop, the driver bugs are now directly affecting the user experience.

*********** MASS BUG UPDATE **************
We apologize for the inconvenience.  There is a large number of bugs to go through and several of them have gone stale.  Due to this, we are doing a mass bug update across all of the Fedora 25 kernel bugs.
 
Fedora 25 has now been rebased to 4.9.3-200.fc25.  Please test this kernel update (or newer) and let us know if you issue has been resolved or if it is still present with the newer kernel.
 
If you have moved on to Fedora 26, and are still experiencing this issue, please change the version to Fedora 26.
 
If you experience different issues, please open a new bug report for those.

Might be fixed by:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/platform-driver-x86/msg09702.html

Not sure whether that's landed in a Fedora 25 kernel.

Comment 3 Stanislav Graf 2017-02-27 17:11:22 UTC
I think I can still see this with
kernel-4.9.11-200.fc25.x86_64
Acer AO756

I have log full of
Feb 27 18:07:26 localhost.localdomain iio-sensor-prox[778]: Could not open input accel '/dev/input/event9': Operation not permitted

And gnome-shell shows an orientation lock icon in its status menu, even though the screen doesn't actually rotate when I flip the laptop.

Running Fedora 25 (4.10.12-200.fc25.x86_64)

journalctl -f outputs the following
May 06 10:45:33 localhost.localdomain iio-sensor-prox[868]: Could not open input accel '/dev/input/event9': Operation not permitted

Comment 7 Jason Ronald Smit 2017-06-28 16:09:24 UTC
This bug still exists and spams the journal log with errors every second.

Comment 9 Fedora End Of Life 2017-11-16 18:47:30 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 25 is nearing its end of life.
Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining
and issuing updates for Fedora 25. It is Fedora's policy to close all
bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time
this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a Fedora  'version'
of '25'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version'
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not
able to fix it before Fedora 25 is end of life. If you would still like
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 10 Fedora End Of Life 2017-12-12 10:54:15 UTC
Fedora 25 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2017-12-12. Fedora 25 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
