Issues with autorotate

Is anyone else having issues with autorotate on linux? I’m running Kubuntu 25.04, and it doesn’t rotate when putting it in tablet or tent mode.

As far as I can tell it’s an issue with iio-sensors-proxy as the output of the ‘monitor-sensor’ command is:

Waiting for iio-sensor-proxy to appear

+++ iio-sensor-proxy appeared

** (monitor-sensor:6902): WARNING **: 07:44:53.801: Failed to claim accelerometer: Timeout was reached

I haven’t been able to find anything online, and thought I’d ask if anyone had the same issue and/or a fix for it.

Workaround can be found here: What are the Linux system requirements for tablet mode?
