Sorry - not a total noob here, but enough to embarrass myself... I had to boot with "nomodeset" in order to get my machine to boot. That caused the situation I described here. When I blacklisted the nouveau video driver, I got my functionality back.
For those who know better how to fix these things - the real problem is that the nouveau driver didn't work on my XPS 13 9365, causing it to hang while trying to boot. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873700 Title: Display won't rotate, rotate lock/unlock button missing, can't rotate screen with xrandr commands Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I lost ability to rotate the display upon upgrade to 20.04.
