Lenovo Yoga 2 11 - no output from geoclue - Linux Mint 18.3

[ross-ops]

Hello! I am battling to get the screen of my Lenovo 2 working in tablet mode (hopefully including auto-rotation, touchpad disabled etc.) Only my 'sitting on the sofa with a beer-book/lab book', but even so, I'd like to fiddle with it if I can. I've read through the readme and get to this part su -s /bin/sh geoclue -c monitor-sensor which outputs nothing.

Interestingly, the live boot of the latest version of Fedora (26) does interact with the screen rotation sensor, albeit incorrectly (inverts screen 180).

So! The important dumps: # G_MESSAGES_DEBUG=all /usr/sbin/iio-sensor-prox

I think that covers everything any useful people may wish to know, sorry if I've missed something glaringly obvious. Thanks in advance for the help :) R

I have realised that this issue may be down to 18.3's repo version of iio-sensor-proxy being old (1.1), so have tried compiling the new version from scratch.

After a bit of dependency hell, I got version 2 to compile (with warnings), but there still appears not to be any sensor data coming through to geoclue.

Cheers

There's a warning in the output, which should have better debug nowadays. Try it again and see whether you get a better error message including an explanation as to why it can't read the in_scale file.

Version 2.6 was released, which is what I would advise to use.
