Sailfish Keeps Repeating Tutorial/Wrong Rotation

[jakfish]

When I get into Sailfish, it remembers my wifi, but the tutorial always starts and it doesn't remember my landscape rotation.

Which handles do I jiggle for those things?

Thanks,
Jake

Had my first sailfish restart (had to power down) last night when I added the camera module. I also had the tutorial pop up again. All my settings were still there, so no damage. I'll might look in to it later - I don't normally reboot, so it probably won't annoy me too much

Can we remove the application files related to the tutorial?

My build doesn't force the tutorial on reboots (only initially after install)- so the most I ever tried was removing it from the app menu, which then it readded itself at the end.
I didnt fight it too much since I just ignore the application.

Edit:

Try this from a terminal:
touch /home/nemo/.jolla-startupwizard-sfos2-tutorial
touch /home/nemo/.jolla-startupwizard-done
touch /home/nemo/.jolla-startupwizard-usersession-done

Try this from a terminal:
touch /home/nemo/.jolla-startupwizard-sfos2-tutorial
touch /home/nemo/.jolla-startupwizard-done
touch /home/nemo/.jolla-startupwizard-usersession-done

At least for this restart they are already there. I'll see what happens next time I reboot. Thanks.

Now the last time I rebooted, the tutorial was skipped.  If it comes back, I found this to skip it manually:

And I'll try the touch commands as well, thanks for them.

My trouble now it that I'm always in portrait, even when choosing "dynamic." Any advice for that?

I fixed my screen rotation by editing the Page.qml file, this requires going into devel-sa, I found the information by searching this forum.

[jakfish]

Thanks for that pointer/post. Meganerd suggests this way to lock down landscape:

ii) Modify Page.qml (line 115)
    Original line: return Orientation.All
    Updated line: return Orientation.LandscapeInverted

    Other views: Orientation.Portrait | Orientation.Landscape | Orientation.LandscapeInverted

iii) Reboot phone to apply changes


But while I found line 115 (after "pkcon install nano"), I did not find "Orientation.All" There were other Orientations, but not that one, so I closed out without changing anything.

Hello, it sounds like you're on SFOS 2.1.4.14


Please see the notes I added from user Dietmar Schwertberge regarding the differences

Change this:
allowed = Orientation.LandscapeInverted | orientation === Orientation.Portrait | orientation === Orientation.PortraitInverted

To this:
allowed = Orientation.LandscapeInverted

Yes, same information that I found, though it was on this forum:

https://www.oesf.org/forum/index.php?showto...=35195&st=0

I think from the same Dietmar.

That did it and many thanks, meganerd, for weighing into this post.

One caveat to new Jolla folk--in nano, when deleting text, I found stray letters were left behind, at least on the screen. So I saved the file, reopened it, searched for the replaced text (ctrl-w), and found that it needed some retyping, even though I had deleted and typed correctly the first time.

Had I rebooted without checking the file, I think there would've been significant problems.

Thank you again, what a relief to stop craning my head,
Jake
