A picture of the login screen.

Description of problem:

On my Lenovo Yoga 900, after applying the latest (9-22) updates, the GDM login screen is upside down when I start the computer.

If I play around with the rotation, eventually it will flip. If I log in, the shell usually ends up being right side up. 

I'm not sure if this bug is in GDM, but if it isn't, maybe someone else can figure this out.

(Maybe related, but should probably be a separate bug: Gnome hasn't been able to reorient itself to tablet mode on this computer in Fedora 27 as it did on Fedora 26. If you try to flip it, it either gets the orientation wrong or displays a black screen, which leads me to believe something is wrong with either Wayland, the kernel, or Gnome. I haven't gotten around to filing a bug on this yet, mostly because I have no idea what is doing that. Rotation lock in Gnome seems to keep it from flipping the screen around while I'm trying to use the computer, so it hasn't been a big deal.)

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.26.0-1


How reproducible:


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Turn on the computer.
2. As soon as the login screen comes up, the display is flipped upside down. 
3.

Actual results:

The login is flipped upside down. Logging in, the shell _usually_ corrects this.


Expected results:

Nothing is flipped upside down.

Hello Fedora/Red Hat,

I have *exact* the same problem as Ryan Farmer describes. 


The only thing that I would like to add is this:
The slightest movement of the laptop makes it rotate the screen (during GDM).


I use the following hardware and software

Software: Fedora 27 beta
Kernel: 4.13.9-300.fc27.x86_64
Hardware: Lenovo Thinkpad Yoga.


Let me know if I can help.

Yours sincerely, 
Jeroen Verhoeckx

Correction:
The screen not only rotates during the login screen but also during a normal desktop mode. It's quite annoying.

When I lock the screen rotation in the system menu the rotating stops.

This message is a reminder that Fedora 27 is nearing its end of life.
On 2018-Nov-30  Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for
Fedora 27. 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that are no longer maintained.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 '27'.

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 27 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 5 Ben Cotton 2018-11-30 23:46:24 UTC
Fedora 27 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2018-11-30. Fedora 27 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.
