Automatic screen rotation problem
I have an Acer Spin 5 laptop and I am using KDE Plasma. I have been using iio-sensor-proxy without any problems for a long time. However, a few days ago (I am not sure when), I noticed that after entering my password in sddm, my screen would rotate 180 degrees for a second or two and then return to its normal position.
Today, I updated my system and during the mkinitcpio rebuild, my screen rotated 180 degrees and remained that way until sestart. After restarting my laptop, the same thing happened after entering my password.
iio-sensor-proxy was last updated on September 3rd, 2022, which was a long time ago.
I checked the journalctl for iio errors, but I couldn't find anything other than:
journalctl -b | grep iio
mar 09 21:27:18 spin dbus-daemon[928]: [system] Activating systemd to hand-off: service name='org.freedesktop.PolicyKit1' unit='polkit.service' requested by ':1.1' (uid=0 pid=929 comm="/usr/lib/iio-sensor-proxy")Not sure what to do next.

Read it, understand what's potentially messing around with the screen config after the login, try to address that by removing the bogus config files.
