I have been experimenting with numerous distos and this is my first with lubuntu. i had numerous problems with ubuntu and kali not having the ability to adjust the screen brightess, and very slow internet browsing on picture heavy websites with firefox. lubuntu has none of these problems!! but, the screen orientation is an issue.
im on an asus tablet with a detachable magnetic keyboard and touchpad, but when loading after boot splash the lububtu logo is rotated left 90 degrees. the log in screen as well. once logged in, âxrandr - o rightâ would fix the desktop once logged in, but would not save. when i changed it it in the preferences/settings, it would stick, but not for the log in screen or splash while boot. (asus splash is correct all the time).
google seems to always start with lightdm script changes, but i cant find antthing for lubuntus lxqt, only gnome.
appreciate any help! this seems to be the best choise for this hardware, everything is working so far otherwise and the internet firefox slowdown is not even a quarter as bad as w gnome for whatever reason.
At the greeter (sddm) before login, LXQt hasnât started so any settings changed in LXQt wonât have impact until after youâre logged in and LXQt is running.
sddm has itâs own config (the manual mentions it, though youâll need to look up sddm wiki for details.
Note: you didnât provide release details; so Iâm using the latest stable release in manual URL links; ie. 21.04 currently, though itâll be for 21.10 after itâs been released.
Open the file at â/usr/share/sddm/scripts/Xsetupâ and add the xrandr rotation i was using as a line there and it will run after the splash and rotate the login screen.
now i just have to figure out how to do the same with the splash screen logo
I know little to nothing about the plymouth screen. I played with changing some 5-6 years ago; but thatâs too long ago for me to recall accurately now (besides the current releases do things slightly differently now so OEM logos can be seen on plymouth).
The easiest fix Iâd imagine would be to use a plymouth screen that looks good on your setup (regardless of orientation on your display(s)); ie. apt install another one & use that instead (for your unstated release).
FYI: I know the you issue you speak of; I have boxes with portrait-tilted displays & thus see the issue; but I keep the boxes rather standard as itâs better for support (when little changed) and for for QA-test installs (meaning many fixes would get wiped within a week on next QA-install)
