libfprint is a library designed to make it easy for application developers to add support for consumer fingerprint readers to their software.

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.

Displaying and dumping information on Direct Rendering Manager devices.

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.

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/.

This package is a partial implementation of the systemd-hostnamed daemon. It provides the org.freedesktop.hostname1 D-Bus interface, which helps applications like GNOME Settings retrieve and modify the system’s hostname, as well as set a pretty hostname for display.

Libglib-testing is a test library providing test harnesses and mock classes which complement the classes provided by GLib. It is intended to be used by any project which uses GLib and which wants to write internal unit tests.

Libmbim is a GLib-based library for talking to WWAN modems and devices which speak the Mobile Interface Broadband Model (MBIM) protocol.

This package contains a number of commandline utilities for use inside Flatpak sandboxes and other containers, like guix shell --container. They work by talking to portals. Currently, there is flatpak-spawn for running commands in sandboxes as well as xdg-open and xdg-email, which are compatible with the well-known scripts of the same name.

poweralertd is a daemon that watches for UPower events and notifies the user using any notification daemon implementing org.freedesktop.Notifications.

This library supports a subset of the ATA S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) functionality.

xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage "well known" user directories, such as the desktop folder or the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e. translation) of the file names. Designed to be automatically run when a user logs in, xdg-user-dirs can also be run manually by a user.

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

ModemManager is a DBus-activated daemon which controls mobile broadband (2G/3G/4G) devices and connections. Whether built-in devices, USB dongles, bluetooth-paired telephones, or professional RS232/USB devices with external power supplies, ModemManager is able to prepare and configure the modems and setup connections with them.

PackageKit provides a way of performing package management tasks, e.g. updating, removing and installing software. Through supporting many backends, PackageKit can perform these tasks using the appropriate package manager for the current system.

This package provides a Hyprland implementation of wayland-scanner, in and for C++.

Wev is a tool that opens a window, printing all events sent to a Wayland window, such as key presses. It is analogous to the X11 tool XEv.

xdg-desktop-portal is a portal front-end service for Flatpak and possibly other desktop containment frameworks. It works by exposing a series of D-Bus interfaces known as portals under a well-known name (org.freedesktop.portal.Desktop) and object path (/org/freedesktop/portal/desktop).

The portal interfaces include APIs for file access, opening URIs, printing and others.

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.

libportal provides GIO-style async APIs for most Flatpak portals.

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.

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

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

uchardet is an encoding detector library, which takes a sequence of bytes in an unknown character encoding without any additional information, and attempts to determine the encoding of the text. Returned encoding names are iconv-compatible.
