I’m using EndeavourOS with KDE.

The display is correctly oriented when logged in but it doesn’t rotate correctly when I’m logged out.

EDIT: corrected the post. This happens when logged out, locking the screen has it displayed correctly.

          Well, there was zero effort documented in the post.

          You’re not their teacher. It’s not your job to decide how much effort they’ve put forth, or to grade whether or not that is sufficient.

          Take a look at Ubuntu trying to teach newcomers how to ask a question.

          And if they documented their research process, you’d say “tldr just ask the question.” Stop trying to be paternalistic and gatekeepy. Just answer or don’t.

              That’s totally the biggest problem with the internet. And definitely deploying self-important moderaptors is the way to fix it.

              /s, of course. Get off your high horse.

              Now we have millions of useless posts being archived like this one.

              The archives! Why won’t anyone think of the archives!?

              If we have room for comments like yours in the archives then we have room for legitimate questions by beginners in there too. Your post history shows a significant amount of deleted comments and downvotes. I bet they were all very productive and helpful comments for the archives, right?

              The goal of Ubuntu’s help forum is to solve users’ problems efficiently and effectively. That goal is better achieved if questions are posed in certain optimal ways.

              The goal of Lemmy is for people to have discussions (like this one! ;). That goal is not better achieved with well posed questions.

      This type of answer wouldn’t exist if people typed the question into google instead of reddit/lemmy/forums/etc…

        When you search for a problem like this one, often the results with helpful answers are on forums. These wouldn’t exist if no one ever asked their question on a forum.

        To put it another way, google doesn’t create any content. That’s what we’re here to do instead.

          Yup, and it might be necessary to reproduce a lot of the answers that people used to find on reddit.

          I have no problem with questions on forums, sometimes I ask them myself, but I think that if you expect people to try to answer your question, people should be able to expect you to have tried looking for an answer yourself.

            I don’t know about other people, but it’s way easier to google something than to ask a question and then wait for the answer. I’m not OP, but if I’ve asked a question, it’s only because I’ve exhausted my ability to find the answer on its own.

            Sometimes people like community conversation; it often gets to the heart of the issue better than parsing a semi-related post from 12 years ago, and it allows back-and-forth discussion to get details and drill down issues.

            On top of that, redundancy for technical issues is never something we should reject.

            Why though? Seriously, why is it a problem for you if they ask here first, instead of asking somewhere else first? What is the actual harm to you?

            Some people would rather interact with other humans. Some prefer to find their answers without interacting with other humans. It’s all good.

            What is the harm, to you or anyone else, when someone makes a forum their first resort, instead of last? If having people ask questions here that aren’t “good questions” according to you is bothering you, perhaps you are the problem.

            I support this idea, and based on the things I read here, it seems to me that different cultures have different norms for asking a question, and that’s a good thing, but can create not so pleasant social situations here in the internet

        My goodness, people complain that this place lacks content. A person as for help which creates content for the site and you come to bash on them?

        Come kiddo! You can do better.

        How do you think the OP is supposed to know that “SDDM” is the issue to look up? You don’t get to enforce another person’s effort. If all you want to provide is "you’re looking for ‘SDDM,’ that would provide help and empower them without sounding like you’re biting the newbie for not knowing everything.

            Yes. I would assume that the problem is in X11 or Wayland before thinking it could be SDDM, frankly. But even then, googling “Linux login screen” doesn’t immediately reveal SDDM to be the point of concern.

            Ah, you made an edit. Yeah, “kde login rotation” does, but “EndeavourOS login rotation” gives you no results mentioning SDDM. Giving people the benefit of the doubt costs you nothing over assuming that they’re lazy, and the added bonus is that you don’t sound like a jerk.
