Thinkpad rotation scripts
I've got a Thinkpad X230 tablet on which I installed Ubuntu Mate 16.04, and I've used Martin Ueding's thinkpad-script PPA to get the screen to rotate. This has worked for all upgrades. And then I did a clean install of 18.04, attempted to install thinkpad-scripts and got:
The repository 'http://ppa.launchpad.net/martin-ueding/stable/ubuntu bionic Release' does not have a Release file.N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.N: See apt-secure(8) manpage for repository creation and user configuration details.
With a little more digging (UbuntuUpdates) I learned that any repositories that hadn't been actively tweaked for the last two years were cleaned out. Including the thinkpad-script PPA. Guess it worked too well.
So, what can I use instead? Because there's slim pickings in Synaptic and Gnome. Thanks

You can try to contact PPA owner to get scripts released for 18.04 LTS.
But temporarily you can try to install them manually from PPA:
cd ~/Downloads
wget http://ppa.launchpad.net/martin-ueding/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/t/thinkpad-scripts/thinkpad-scripts_4.11.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb
sudo apt-get install ./thinkpad-scripts_4.11.0-0ubuntu1_all.deb
Then check its functionality by yourself.
Note: I'm unable to install both thinkpad-rotate and thinkpad-scripts in the same time because of the error:
The following packages have unmet dependencies:
thinkpad-scripts : Breaks: think-rotate (<= 3.3) but 3.2-0ubuntu4 is to be installed
so thinkpad-scripts replaces think-rotate.
