Hello! I recently bought a Yoga 7 2-in-1 (model 14AKP10) and the autorotate and volume control are not functioning properly. I’m relatively new to Linux and I chose Kinoite because I can’t break it and it’s not that different from Bazzite, which I use on my rog ally x and my desktop machine. I’ve made sure that my system is up to date, but the autorotate still doesn’t work. The virtual keyboard also doesn’t appear on screen in tablet mode.
In addition, the volume control doesn’t work properly either. The sound loudness doesn’t change when I try to increase or decrease the volume, meaning I have to rely on the in-program volume controls to change the loudness.
Below is a screenshot of checking on the iio-sensor proxy service. I’m not sure what it all means, but I can follow directions! I tried to figure out directions from someone else’s similar post, but that’s for regular Fedora, not Kinoite, which, as I understand it, requires different directions due to being immutable? I’ve been trying to figure this out for a month, but haven’t been able to make much headway on the problem. Thanks in advance!
Your output is only displaying the end of each journal entry. Try the same command again, but with --no-pager. Something like journactl --no-hostname --no-pager -b | fpaste will dump the kernel messages and the software messages for the current boot and send it all to a pastebin, giving you a URL back. Have a bit of a fiddle with the volume and trigger some rotation so we can see if there are any obvious errors spat out when you do so.
Post the URL here.
I mention this method as the amount of output won’t fit into the 32KB this site allows for a single message, and we don’t yet know what the issue actually is so we don’t want any filtering applied to reduce the output in case we nail something relevant. Sending it all to a pastebin is better than nothing!
I’m not familiar with Kinoite, but I suspect this aspect of getting some logs out should be the same. You should post the output of inxi -Fzxx too if you can - it’ll dump your set-up, hardware, bios, configs, kernel and so on in one easy command, and it’ll all fit in here without any space issues to feel free to post that in full.
Using preformatted text using the </> button above makes it easier to read.
My Yoga 9i needed the Intel Sensor Hub (ISH) firmware before the sensors were available. Lenovo is just now (this month) adding that to the linux firmware repository. Unfortunately this firmware appears to be per-laptop. You will need to download the ISH driver (firmware) from Lenovo and then place it at /lib/firmware/intel/ish/ish_lnlm.bin and re-create your initramfs (dracut -f) and reboot.
