Fedora – stop fedora gnome auto-rotate screen when shake laptop

fedoragnome

i've installed fedora 25 today coming from mint !

every things goes great . but when i shake the laptop unintentionally the screen turn around and make a 90deg or 180deg rotate .

every time this happen i have to shake my lap in different position until i get the normal screen !

is there anyway to force fedora to don't detect shakes and laptop moves ?

or to force screen to be normal always ?

run this command as your STANDARD USER, replace cinnamon by the name of the desktop environment you are using (gnome...etc) :

gsettings set org.cinnamon.settings-daemon.peripherals.touchscreen orientation-lock  true

How to disable “Shake password dialog when authentication fails” of Gnome Screensaver

For a moment, I thought that this might be inherited from the GDM configuration (since the GDM login screen does the same thing), but apparently it's not.

After checking a few other places without any luck, I decided to find out for myself and took a look at the source code(v2.30). The code responsible for the shaking only checks to make sure the dialog isn't already being shaken. It makes no checks against any configuration, so there doesn't appear to be a way to disable it without changing the code itself.

You might try switching to xscreensaver and see if that helps.

From this answer: https://superuser.com/questions/748482/how-to-suspend-from-lockscreen-in-gnome-3 , in your /etc/systemd/logind.conf change the line to:

HandleLidSwitch=lock

and then sudo systemctl restart systemd-logind to restart the service.
