Public bug reported: I've just installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 in dualboot on top of an Asus UX360UA, alongside with Windows 10. I've already installed the updates meanwhile.
This laptop has a 360º degree rotating screen. When I physically rotate my screen, Windows (or some installed driver, I don't know) detects that. Consequently, the image being displayed in the screen is rotated 180º and the keyboard is blocked. However, Ubuntu doesn't do nothing when I rotate the screen. I think this is a bug because a fresh Ubuntu installation should recognise these laptop features. I searched a little bit and it seems there are some workarounds on this, but I guess Ubuntu installation should recognise this automatically? --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.5 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC0: tjiagom 1806 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=0eaf9255-c29a-41b7-8449-1eb52f637933 InstallationDate: Installed on 2017-02-04 (0 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20160719) Lsusb: Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub Bus 001 Device 002: ID 04f2:b56b Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub MachineType: ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC.
