cChardet is a character encoding detector, written in Python, that binds to the C library uchardet to increase performance.

The AccountService project provides a set of D-Bus interfaces for querying and manipulating user account information and an implementation of these interfaces, based on the useradd, usermod and userdel commands.

Bind gestures on touchscreens and unsupported gesture devices via libinput touch events.

Displaying and dumping information on Direct Rendering Manager devices.

Exempi is an implementation of the Extensible Metadata Platform (XMP), which enables embedding metadata in PDF and image formats.

Wtype lets you simulate keyboard input and mouse activity, move and resize windows, etc.

This package provides a backend implementation for xdg-desktop-portal which uses GTK+ and various pieces of GNOME infrastructure, such as the org.gnome.Shell.Screenshot or org.gnome.SessionManager D-Bus interfaces.

This package provides a Python wrapper around libevdev, taking advantage of libevdev's advanced event handling. Documentation is available at https://python-libevdev.readthedocs.io/en/latest/. libevdev makes it easy to:

• read and parse events from an input device;

• create a virtual input device and make it send events;

• duplicate an existing device and modify the event stream.

For information about libevdev, see: https://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libevdev/.

Libqmi is a GLib-based library for talking to WWAN modems and devices which speak the Qualcomm MSM Interface (QMI) protocol.

File::DesktopEntry parses .desktop files defined by the Freedesktop.org Desktop Entry specification. It can also run the applications define in those files.

Wayland is a project to define a protocol for a compositor to talk to its clients as well as a library implementation of the protocol. The compositor can be a standalone display server running on Linux kernel modesetting and evdev input devices, an X application, or a wayland client itself. The clients can be traditional applications, X servers (rootless or fullscreen) or other display servers.

Libinput is a library to handle input devices for display servers and other applications that need to directly deal with input devices.

libqrtr-glib is a glib-based library to use and manage the QRTR (Qualcomm IPC Router) bus.

Wayland-Protocols contains Wayland protocols that add functionality not available in the Wayland core protocol. Such protocols either add completely new functionality, or extend the functionality of some other protocol either in Wayland core, or some other protocol in wayland-protocols.

AppStream is a cross-distribution effort for enhancing the way we interact with the software repositories provided by distributions by standardizing software component metadata. It provides the foundation to build software-center applications, by providing metadata necessary for an application-centric view on package repositories. It additionally provides specifications for things like an unified software metadata database, screenshot services and various other things needed to create user-friendly application-centers for distributions.

fprintd is a D-Bus daemon that offers functionality of libfprint, a library to access fingerprint readers, over the D-Bus interprocess communication bus. This daemon layer above libfprint solves problems related to applications simultaneously competing for fingerprint readers.

libsfdo is a collection of libraries which implement some of the freedesktop.org specifications.

This package provides C++ bindings for the Wayland display protocol.

power-profiles-daemon offers to modify system behaviour based upon user-selected power profiles. There are 3 different power profiles, a "balanced" default mode, a "power-saver" mode, as well as a "performance" mode. The first 2 of those are available on every system. The "performance" mode is only available on select systems and is implemented by different "drivers" based on the system or systems it targets. In addition to those 2 or 3 modes (depending on the system), "actions" can be hooked up to change the behaviour of a particular device. For example, this can be used to disable the fast-charging for some USB devices when in power-saver mode.

File::Basedir can be used to find directories and files as specified by the Freedesktop.org Base Directory Specification. This specifications gives a mechanism to locate directories for configuration, application data and cache data.

Localed is a tiny daemon that can be used to control the system locale and keyboard mapping from user programs. It is used among other things by the GNOME Shell. The localectl command-line tool allows you to interact with localed. This package is extracted from the broader systemd package.

UDisks provides interfaces to enumerate and perform operations on disks and storage devices. Any application (including unprivileged ones) can access the udisksd(8) daemon via the name org.freedesktop.UDisks2 on the system message bus.

This is a GTK convenience library for interacting with colord. It is useful for both applications which need colour management and applications that wish to perform colour calibration.

The udiskie program is a udisks2 front-end that manages removable media such as CDs or flash drives from userspace.

Its features include:

• automount removable media,

• notifications,

• tray icon,

• command line tools for manual (un)mounting,

• LUKS encrypted devices,

• unlocking with keyfiles,

• loop devices (mounting ISO archives),

• password caching.
