It is able to: * Detect loss and gain of AC power, lid closure, and the press of a number of specific buttons (on Asus, IBM, Lenovo, Panasonic, Sony and Toshiba laptops). * Suspend, hibernate and resume the computer, with workarounds for hardware that needs it. * On some laptops, set screen brightness.

- 'adduser' creates new users and groups and adds existing users to existing groups; - 'deluser' removes users and groups and removes users from a given group.

Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment - Common files

This package contains base and configuration files that are needed to run the actual binaries.

Ubuntu applications (data files)

Application Installer (data files for partner applications/repositories)

automatically generate crash reports for debugging

This package also provides a command line frontend for browsing and handling the crash reports. For desktops, you should consider installing the GTK+ or Qt user interface (apport-gtk or apport-kde).

GTK+ frontend for the apport crash report system

apport automatically collects data from crashed processes and compiles a problem report in /var/crash/. This utilizes the crashdump helper hook provided by the Ubuntu kernel.

This package provides a GTK+ frontend for browsing and handling the crash reports.

tools for reprocessing Apport crash reports

symptom scripts for apport

Apport intercepts program crashes, collects debugging information about the crash and the operating system environment, and sends it to bug trackers in a standardized form. It also offers the user to report a bug about a package, with again collecting as much information about it as possible.

This package extends Apport by some "symptom" scripts, so that bug reporters do not have to guess the correct package, but report problems based on symptoms that they have (like "sound problem"), through an interactive process.

transaction based package management service

Aptdaemon allows normal users to perform package management tasks, e.g. refreshing the cache, upgrading the system, installing or removing software packages.

Currently it comes with the following main features:

install packages using the apt protocol - GTK+ frontend

install packages using the apt protocol - common data

AptUrl is a simple graphical application that takes an URL (which follows the apt-protocol) as a command line option, parses it and carries out the operations that the URL describes (that is, it asks the user if he wants the indicated packages to be installed and if the answer is positive does so for him).

This package contains the common data shared between the frontends.

This package contains the documentation for GNU Aspell in various formats. The aspell package comes with minimal man pages. Install this package if you need further information on the development process and workings of Aspell.

automatic configure script builder documentation

automatic as-installed testing for Debian packages

autopkgtest runs tests on binary packages. The tests are run on the package as installed on a testbed system (which may be found via a virtualisation or containment system). The tests are expected to be supplied in the corresponding Debian source package.

BackupPC is disk based and not tape based. This particularity allows features not found in any other backup solution: * Clever pooling scheme minimizes disk storage and disk I/O. Identical files across multiple backups of the same or different PC are stored only once resulting in substantial savings in disk storage and disk writes. Also known as "data deduplication". * Optional compression provides additional reductions in storage. CPU impact of compression is low since only new files (those not already in the pool) need to be compressed. * A powerful http/cgi user interface allows administrators to view log files, configuration, current status and allows users to initiate and cancel backups and browse and restore files from backups very quickly. * No client-side software is needed. On WinXX the smb protocol is used. On Linux or Unix clients, rsync or tar (over ssh/rsh/nfs) can be used * Flexible restore options. Single files can be downloaded from any backup directly from the CGI interface. Zip or Tar archives for selected files or directories can also be downloaded from the CGI interface. * BackupPC supports mobile environments where laptops are only intermittently connected to the network and have dynamic IP addresses (DHCP). * Flexible configuration parameters allow multiple backups to be performed in parallel. * and more to discover in the manual...

This package contains the distributable documentation, all the examples and the main changelog.

Broadcast relay daemon

The bcrelay daemon relays broadcasts between two interfaces. It is shipped with the pptpd package, but can be used for other purposes.

- dig - query the DNS in various ways - nslookup - the older way to do it - nsupdate - perform dynamic updates (See RFC2136)

This package consists of the documentation for the GNU assembler, linker and binary utilities in info format.

Documentation for the Bison parser generator

This package contains the PDF and Info documentation for Bison.

This package contains the headers and libraries needed to extend or embed BLT.

Bluetooth printer driver for CUPS

This package contains a driver to let CUPS print to Bluetooth-connected printers.

Standalone shell setup for initramfs

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv, mount, tar, etc.). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.

Standalone rescue shell with tons of builtin utilities

BusyBox combines tiny versions of many common UNIX utilities into a single small executable. It provides minimalist replacements for the most common utilities you would usually find on your desktop system (i.e., ls, cp, mv, mount, tar, etc.). The utilities in BusyBox generally have fewer options than their full-featured GNU cousins; however, the options that are included provide the expected functionality and behave very much like their GNU counterparts.

busybox-static provides you with a statically linked simple stand alone shell that provides all the utilities available in BusyBox. This package is intended to be used as a rescue shell, in the event that you screw up your system. Invoke "busybox sh" and you have a standalone shell ready to save your system from certain destruction. Invoke "busybox", and it will list the available builtin commands.
