2-in-1 PC screen is not rotating in KDE

26 February 2025, 12:08:41

I have a Dell Inspiron 14 7440 2-in-1. When I fold the display the screen should auto-rotate, but it doesn't. I have iio-sensor-poxy installed but it seems that it's not recognized by the system. This is the output of monitor-sensor:

Code: [Select]

Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear

By investigating a little bit I found out that iio-sensor-poxy has a systemd service, which I assume is needed to start the program correctly. On the forum here I've found an open-rc service. As I use dinit I tried to create a similar service:

Code: [Select]

cat $HOME/.config/dinit.d/iio-sensor-proxy 
type = process
command = /usr/lib/iio-sensor-proxy
depends-on = dbus
log-type = buffer

I have turnstile and dbus-dinit-user package installed and loaded correctly:

Code: [Select]

sudo dinitctl list | grep turnstile
[{+}     ] turnstiled (pid: 1094)

However when I try to start the service I get the following error:

Code: [Select]
