| raboof | hi! I have a pinetab2, and I'm trying to get it to 'auto-rotate' based on the accellerometer. I'm pretty sure I got the ACCEL_MOUNT_MATRIX right (with the 'keyboard side' as 'normal'), and this works correctly in plasma, but in gnome it consistently keeps the 'top' of the screen on the 'left' edge instead of at the actual top. can anyone enlighten me on how this should work? | 10:18:35 |
| raboof | I can also modify ACCEL_MOUNT_MATRIX so the 'side' is 'normal', then the autorotate works in gnome, but the screen is rotated 90% when it is docked to the keyboard - and it also breaks in plasma. | 10:58:52 |

 Capypara | Hi, is GNOME Remote Desktop broken? I use it one every 1-2 months, it worked last time, right after I switched to 25.11, but now on 25.11 it's suddenly broken. Trying to turn it on causes these errors:

| 18:01:37 |
| Capypara | (The unit exists) | 18:04:01 |
| Capypara | it's also running, but there's no RDP connection actually possible | 18:04:19 |

| 18:05:24 |
| Capypara | does anybody else have this issue? if anybody can confirm it I would open an issue on GitHub | 18:06:19 |
| Capypara | both modes aren't working btw, I can turn on unattended RDP but it still doesn't work and also doesn't show me the port its running on in the setting, which tells me it's not turning on properly. the service logs nothing. | 18:07:48 |

| Capypara | oh, when I switch on or off unattended RDP I get these errors:

| 18:09:11 |
| Capypara | it seems GNOME needs pkexec to do this | 18:09:23 |
| Capypara | i don't know what pkexec is | 18:09:29 |
 QuadRadical (Ping) | pkexec is a gui privelage escalation tool like sudo but with a gui | 19:46:33 |
| QuadRadical (Ping) | i assume its installed? | 19:46:38 |

| Capypara | yeah | 10:41:31 |
| Capypara | I asked in the GNOME channel and a few other places and haven't really gotten any responses, does nobody use GNOME Remote Desktop? | 10:42:04 |
| Capypara | I'll asume this is a general issue then and open an issue | 10:42:59 |
