Auto-Rotation on KDE Plasma ( Wayland ) – Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3

CONTEXT -------- Debian 13 (Trixie) + KDE Plasma 5.27 on Wayland.   Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 (QHD 3000×2000, i7-8550U).   iio-sensor-proxy detects the accelerometer but doesn’t publish orientation on DBus.   Solution: use raw accelerometer values and rotate via kscreen-doctor (KDE’s Wayland tool). REQUIREMENTS ------------- sudo apt install kscreen   Accelerometer visible at /sys/bus/iio/devices/iio:device*/in_accel_x_raw FINAL SCRIPT — ~/.local/bin/autorotate-wayland.sh ------------------------------------------------- #!/usr/bin/env bash # Auto-rotate for KDE Plasma (Wayland) – ThinkPad X1 Tablet Gen 3 # Reads raw accelerometer data and rotates screen via kscreen-doctor. # Touch/pen mapping handled automatically by Wayland. # Create ~/.config/autorotate.lock to disable rotation temporarily.

Password security

Encryption 


Password encryption is ensured by the service called SHA-512 (Secure Hashing Algorithm 512 bits). It includes the protocols:

  • TLS
  • SSL
  • PHP
  • SSH
  • S/MIME
  • IPSec
SHA-512 is invoked with sha512sum. To see the encryption of the word "table":
$ echo -n table | sha512sum


Security enhancement

  • Password aging
    It sets the expiration date on a password, enabling its periodic replacement. The command to use is chage.

  • Forcing users to set strong passwords
    This can be done by using PAMPluggable Authentication Bodules. It is based on one of thefollowing libraries:
    • pam_cracklib.so
    • pam_passwdqc.so (provides more options
