AWK Parsing Not Working

[benyanke]

This doesn't work for me on KDE Neon - the AWK run in the line linked below is always returning nothing, instead of returning the rotation. I assume this is due to text line format change (ah yes - the fun life of updating CLI parsers)

https://github.com/donbowman/kde-auto-rotate/blob/master/auto-rotate#L17
monitor-sensor | awk '/Accelerometer orientation changed:/ { print $NF; fflush();}' | while read line

Would you accept a patch overwriting this line with a more robust solution? I have one nearly working locally on my touchscreen Thinkpad hybrid (a helix, I believe).

Got a PR? I'll take it!

its still running for me on my laptop last i checked.

[benyanke]

What OS are you on? I suspect this could be relating to Neon's 18.04 base.

I'll format into a PR when I'm able.

[donbowman]

Its 18.04 kubuntu

[benyanke]

hm. Odd.

Anyways, I'll try and get a PR in to look at.
