### Temporary workaround for a 25.10 tablet mode bug
34+
35+
I will be getting this in front of engineering, _but in the meantime_. this is a workaround based [on this thread](https://community.frame.work/t/ubuntu-25-10-on-framework-laptop-12/77416/16?u=matt_hartley).
36+
37+
This has been heavily tested and provides an immediate workaround for now.
38+
39+
Terminal, paste, enter, password when prompted, done. **No ./script stuff.**
40+
41+
**Enable workaround**
