Korora 25 Freezing on Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro
-
It was updated just the other day, but there are some updates available for it now, including a kernel update. So applying those now before looking into anything else.

@dominica's Lenovo Yoga 2 Pro has always been flaky, as we know it is not good hardware, but has generally been a bit more stable under Linux than under Windows where it was really, really bad. But one major issue remaining is that it freezes from time to time when left sitting idle as mentioned in another thread. The machine is set not to go to sleep, so I am starting to work on it now and will see what we find.
Dedicated graphics?
It's that integrated Intel thing. The one that always crashes under Windows.

Ah ok.
-
Most cases, updates alone do the trick.
-
Updates have completed. Rebooting now to load the new kernel.
-
Okay, fully updated. Now let's see what it does.
-
So far, so good. That was about half an hour, longer than it normally goes, and no freezing so far.

What does it normally do when it crashes?

The desktop freezes, but is still visible. The pointer will still move, but it cannot interact with the desktop. So forced to reboot.
-
Hopefully it was just an update needed. Maybe it was some driver in the new kernel.
-
Well, it has sat for several hours and is still working just fine.
-
Wondering if the direction sensor is part of the issue. Going to attempt moving it around a bit.
-
Makes sense, sensor issues could easily do that given that it's unique and not something that you would usually see with other devices.
-
Can't say as I've ever seen a way to configure that.
-
Ah, yup, testing that just killed the laptop. That's definitely at least related to the issue.
Can't find a rotation lock on Cinnamon, so in the mean time, testing Gnome3 and LXQT on there. At least going to see if we can isolate the issue. Getting closer, though.

Gnome3 does have the rotation lock option.

Testing that now. First test, it didn't work. It rotated after locking then freaked out.
-
The lock does not work. Even after being locked, if you turn the laptop, it rotates to portrait but it cannot rotate back to landscape. Not idea.
-
Although no crashes yet on Gnome 3, just weird rotational locking. Locked or unlocked, it switches to portrait but not back. It's always free to switch once but not again.
-
I turned off the hardware for orientation, so far so good.
