Avahi is a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery. It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration. For example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to print to, files to look at and people to talk to.

This tool implements IPv4LL, "Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses" (IETF RFC3927), a protocol for automatic IP address configuration from the link-local 169.254.0.0/16 range without the need for a central server. It is primarily intended to be used in ad-hoc networks which lack a DHCP server.

Avahi is a fully LGPL framework for Multicast DNS Service Discovery. It allows programs to publish and discover services and hosts running on a local network with no specific configuration. For example you can plug into a network and instantly find printers to print to, files to look at and people to talk to.

This package contains a user interface for discovering services.

bash completion extends bash's standard completion behavior to achieve complex command lines with just a few keystrokes. This project was conceived to produce programmable completion routines for the most common Linux/UNIX commands, reducing the amount of typing sysadmins and programmers need to do on a daily basis.

The Common UNIX Printing System (or CUPS(tm)) is a printing system and general replacement for lpr, lpd and the like. It supports the Internet Printing Protocol (IPP), and has its own filtering driver model for handling various document types.

This package provides the BSD commands for interacting with CUPS. It is provided separately to allow CUPS to coexist with other printing systems (to a small degree).

The Debian Almquist Shell (dash) is a POSIX-compliant shell derived from ash.

Since it executes scripts faster than bash, and has fewer library dependencies (making it more robust against software or hardware failures), it is used as the default system shell on Debian systems.

This package contains the dnsmasq executable and documentation, but not the infrastructure required to run it as a system daemon. For that, install the dnsmasq package.

This program will eject CD-ROMs (assuming your drive supports the CDROMEJECT ioctl). It also allows setting the autoeject feature.

On supported ATAPI/IDE multi-disc CD-ROM changers, it allows changing the active disc.

You can also use eject to properly disconnect external mass-storage devices like digital cameras or portable music players.

gnome-keyring is a daemon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and other applications can use it to store passwords and other sensitive information.

The program can manage several keyrings, each with its own master password, and there is also a session keyring which is never stored to disk, but forgotten when the session ends.

This package contains the "engines" that hide behind the themes for GTK+ and GNOME applications. They redefine the way GTK+ widgets are drawn. The package includes the following engines:

• Clearlooks, the default GNOME theme, based on Bluecurve;
• Crux, formerly known as the Eazel engine;
• High contrast, which is used by some accessibility themes;
• Industrial, the famous engine from Novell (formerly Ximian);
• LighthouseBlue, another engine based on Bluecurve;
• Metal, which gives a metallic look;
• Mist, a flat and high performance engine;
• Redmond95, which provides a look similar to that of Windows;
• ThinIce.

A few sample themes using these engines are also included.

This package provides "less", a file pager (that is, a memory-efficient utility for displaying text one screenful at a time). Less has many more features than the basic pager "more". As part of the GNU project, it is widely regarded as the standard pager on UNIX-derived systems.

Also provided are "lessecho", a simple utility for ensuring arguments with spaces are correctly quoted; "lesskey", a tool for modifying the standard (vi-like) keybindings; and "lesspipe", a filter for specific types of input, such as .doc or .txt.gz files.

This version of Mesa provides GLX and DRI capabilities: it is capable of both direct and indirect rendering. For direct rendering, it can use DRI modules from the libgl1-mesa-dri package to accelerate drawing.

This package does not include the OpenGL library itself, only the DRI modules for accelerating direct rendering.

For a complete description of Mesa, please look at the libglx-mesa0 package.

gnome-keyring is a daemon in the session, similar to ssh-agent, and other applications can use it to store passwords and other sensitive information.

This package contains a PAM module that will automatically unlock the keyrings using your login password, making gnome-keyring usage transparent without losing its security benefits.

When installed, this module will automatically be used by GDM and gnome-screensaver to unlock your keyrings when logging in and when unlocking the screen saver.

LXAppearance is a GUI application for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE).

It is a new feature-rich GTK+ theme switcher able to change GTK+ themes, icon themes, and fonts used by applications. GNOME/KDE/Xfce user may use build-in theme, this works for GTK+ based lightweight desktop Environment.

Features:

• Choose GTK+ theme
• Choose icon theme
• Install new icon theme
• Choose their favorite font
• Choose toolbar style
• See changes immediately in preview area

LXRandR is a GUI application for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE).

This is a very basic monitor config tool utilizing the X extension called RandR. It can let you change the screen resolution on the fly. Besides, when you run lxrandr with external monitor connected, its GUI will change, and show you some quick options to get your projector or external monitor working correctly.

This tool doesn't aim to be a full randr frontend. If you need the full power of RandR, get xrandr (console) or grandr (GUI) and read some tutorials.

LXRandR only gives you some easy and quick options which are intuitive. It's very suitable for laptop users who frequently uses projectors or external monitor and just want to get their work done without reading a lot of "geek-centered" manuals or command line tutorials.

LXTerminal is a VTE-based terminal emulator for the Lightweight X11 Desktop Environment (LXDE).

It supports multiple tabs and has only minimal dependencies thus being completely desktop-independent. In order to reduce memory usage and increase the performance, all instances of the terminal are sharing a single process.

This is a dummy transitional package to transition to NTPsec. It can be safely removed.

This package ensures that Open Sound System support is provided in some way. On Linux, it enables the ALSA compatibility modules. On other kernels where OSS is the default interface, no action is taken.

The purpose of this package is for applications that only support OSS to depend on it, hence preventing common "/dev/dsp not found" errors that would confuse unexperienced users.

On Linux platforms a better approach nowadays is to use osspd, which emulates OSS devices using ALSA or PulseAudio.

This package contains the Oxygen cursor theme, originally created for KDE 4.

The cursors are available in numerous colors to match the style of any desktop.

PolicyKit-gnome provides a D-Bus session bus service that is used to bring up authentication dialogs used for obtaining privileges.

This implementation was originally designed for GNOME 2, but most GNOME-based desktop environments, including GNOME 3, GNOME Flashback, and MATE, have their own built-in PolicyKit agents and no longer use this one. The remaining users of this implementation are Cinnamon, XFCE and Unity.

Samba is an implementation of the SMB/CIFS protocol for Unix systems, providing support for cross-platform file and printer sharing with Microsoft Windows, OS X, and other Unix systems.

This package contains command-line utilities for accessing Microsoft Windows and Samba servers, including smbclient, smbtar, and smbspool. Utilities for mounting shares locally are found in the package cifs-utils.

System-config-printer is a GUI written in Python using GTK+ to configure a CUPS server. Its primary use is to configure the printing system on the local host, but can also be used to setup a remote printer.

In terms of features, it aims to be as complete as the CUPS web administration tool, while being integrated to the desktop.

These utilities allow one to detect automatically printers using UDEV when they are plugged on the system. They are then configured automatically in the CUPS printing daemon and made available to users.

Tree is a recursive directory listing command that produces a depth indented listing of files, which is colorized ala dircolors if the LS_COLORS environment variable is set and output is to tty.

An X client is a program that interfaces with an X server (almost always via the X libraries), and thus with some input and output hardware like a graphics card, monitor, keyboard, and pointing device (such as a mouse).

This package provides a miscellaneous assortment of X utilities that ship with the X Window System, including:

• appres, editres, listres and viewres, which query the X resource database;
• xdpyinfo, a display information utility for X;
• xdriinfo, query configuration information of DRI drivers;
• xev, an X event displayer;
• xfd, a tool that displays all the glyphs in a given X font;
• xfontsel, a tool for browsing and selecting X fonts;
• xkill, a tool for terminating misbehaving X clients;
• xlsatoms, which lists interned atoms defined on an X server;
• xlsclients, which lists client applications running on an X display;
• xlsfonts, a server font list displayer;
• xmessage, a tool to display message or dialog boxes;
• xprop, a property displayer for X;
• xvinfo, an Xv extension information utility for X;
• xwininfo, a window information utility for X;

The editres and viewres programs use bitmap images provided by the xbitmaps package.

xkbutils contains a number of client-side utilities for XKB, the X11 keyboard extension.

setxkbmap is a tool to query and change the current XKB map.

xkbbell generates a bell event through the keyboard.

xkbcomp is a tool to compile XKB definitions into map files the server can use.

xkbevd is an experimental tool to listen for certain XKB events and execute defined triggers when actions occur.

xkbprint is a tool to generate an image with the physical representation of the keyboard as XKB sees it.

xkbvleds shows the changing status of keyboard LEDs.

xkbwatch shows the changing status of modifiers and LEDs.

xdg-user-dirs is a tool to help manage "well known" user directories like the desktop folder and the music folder. It also handles localization (i.e. translation) of the filenames.

This extension sets the Gtk bookmark file and tracks changes of the locale to notify the user on login about changed directory names.

xfonts-base provides a standard set of low-resolution bitmapped fonts. In most cases it is desirable to have the X font server (xfs) and/or an X server installed to make the fonts available to X clients.

This package contains configuration data used by the X Keyboard Extension (XKB), which allows selection of keyboard layouts when using a graphical interface.

Every X11 vendor provides its own XKB data files, so keyboard layout designers have to send their layouts to several places. The xkeyboard-config project has been launched at FreeDesktop in order to provide a central repository that could be used by all vendors.

The Xorg X server is an X server for several architectures and operating systems, which is derived from the XFree86 4.x series of X servers.

The Xorg server supports most modern graphics hardware from most vendors, and supersedes all XFree86 X servers.
