Raju Devidas: Fixing Auto-Rotate screen orientation on PostmarketOS devices running MATE DE
I have been using my Samsung Galaxy Tab A (2015) with PostmarketOS on and off since last year. It serves as a really good e-book reader with KOReader installed on it.
Have tried phosh and plasma-mobile on it, works nicely but slows the device down heavily (2 GB RAM and old processor) so I use MATE Desktop environment on it.
Lately I have started using this tablet along with my laptop as a second screen for work. And it has been working super nicely for that.

The bug prevents OpenSSL and other cryptography components from finding any certificates, which means that programs like pacman and DNF that use OpenSSL are unable to download any metadata or packages. For what it’s worth GnuTLS and, possibly, Network Security Services (or NSS) are unaffected.
