The Yoga 370 is a convertible Laptop made by Lenovo. It was released in 2017.

## Installation

This laptop supports both UEFI and BIOS booting mechanisms. To boot in legacy mode, CSM Support must also be enabled in the UEFI BIOS settings.

## Hardware

Most of the hardware works out-of-the-box, the exeception are bluetooth, fingerprint reader, accelerometer and ambient light sensor.

### Bluetooth

To make bluetooth work you need to install package blueman and bluez

### Fingerprint reader

Install python-validityAUR.Start and Enable `python3-validity.service` after installing package.

Note: Alternatively you can install package python-validity-gitAUR from AUR

### Accelerometer and ambient light sensor

To make this devices work with GNOME you need to install iio-sensor-proxy package.

## Firmware

This laptop supports SecureBoot with custom signed keys. fwupd seems to also work well and without any problems.

## Tips and Tricks

### Fingerprint reader not working at all

Fingerprint reader may not work, if that happens try to find help on the python-validity github page.

### Fingerprint reader stops working

Sometimes fingerprint reader will stop working after sleep or hibernation for no apparent reason. Enable both `open-fprintd-suspend.service` and `open-fprintd-resume.service` if that happens.

Alternatively create a systemd service, by creating the unit `/etc/systemd/system/fingerprint-restart.service` with the following contents:

    /etc/systemd/system/fingerprint-restart.service

    [Unit]
    Description=It resets fingerprint reader sevice in order for it to work.
    After=suspend.target

    [Service]
    User=root
    Type=oneshot
    ExecStart=systemctl restart python3-validity
    TimeoutSec=0
    StandardOutput=syslog

    [Install]
    WantedBy=suspend.target

Do not forget to enable `fingerprint-restart.service`.

### Check stylus charging status

To check stylus stylus charge, you need to use:

    $ upower -i /org/freedesktop/UPower/devices/tablet_wacom_battery_0 |grep percentage

Note: GNOME seems to show it out-of-the-box in settings.

### Using in tablet mode

Detecting whether machine is in tablet mode or laptop mode can be done with

    $ sudo cat /dev/input/by-path/platform-thinkpad_acpi-event

When you fold/unfold the device appropriate info should be displayed.
