How to turn off screen rotation in Ubuntu 18.04 LTS?
In Ubuntu 17.04 there was 'Rotation' menu in Display tab. But now in new version of Ubuntu, there's still a Display tab but no more rotation menu. Now I can't turn that off again since I upgraded to 18.04 LTS.
Solution 1:
The best solution I have found so far is to use the icon that is available in the top right corner of the screen, when you click on the down arrow. The icon is the one in red in the screenshot below:
It might also look like this:
Solution 2:
If you want to remove this feature then fire below commands :
Try this command to stop and disable
$ sudo systemctl stop iio-sensor-proxy.service
$ sudo systemctl disable iio-sensor-proxy.service
Try this command to remove
$ sudo apt-get remove iio-sensor-proxy
Solution 3:
gsettings set org.gnome.settings-daemon.plugins.orientation active false
The above just worked for me. Seems the simplest solution
Solution 4:
You may use the keyboard combination Super+O to toggle the rotation lock ON/OFF as described in @Sylvain's answer.
Note that Super is usually the key with Windows logo.
