How To Install tslib on Fedora 34

tslib is Touchscreen Access Library Touchscreen Access Library

Introduction

In this tutorial we learn how to install tslib on Fedora 34.

What is `tslib`

The idea of tslib is to have a core library that provides standardised services, and a set of plugins to manage the conversion and filtering as needed. The plugins for a particular touchscreen are loaded automatically by the library under the control of a static configuration file, ts.conf. ts.conf gives the library basic configuration information. Each line specifies one module, and the parameters for that module. The modules are loaded in order, with the first one processing the touchscreen data first. tslib 1.22 3.fc34 x86_64 141 k tslib-1.22-3.fc34.src.rpm fedora Touchscreen Access Library https LGPLv2 The idea of tslib is to have a core library that provides standardised services, and a set of plugins to manage the conversion and filtering as needed.

We can use yum or dnf to install tslib on Fedora 34. In this tutorial we discuss both methods but you only need to choose one of method to install tslib.

Install tslib on Fedora 34 Using dnf

Update yum database with dnf using the following command.

sudo dnf makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64                       68 kB/s | 6.5 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install tslib using dnf by running the following command:

sudo dnf -y install tslib

Install tslib on Fedora 34 Using yum

Update yum database with yum using the following command.

sudo yum makecache --refresh

The output should look something like this:

Fedora 34 - x86_64                               20 kB/s | 6.6 kB     00:00
Fedora 34 openh264 (From Cisco) - x86_64        1.4 kB/s | 989  B     00:00

Fedora 34 - x86_64 - Updates                    3.5 kB/s | 6.2 kB     00:01
Fedora Modular 34 - x86_64 - Updates             17 kB/s | 5.9 kB     00:00
Metadata cache created.

After updating yum database, We can install tslib using yum by running the following command:

sudo yum -y install tslib

How To Uninstall tslib on Fedora 34

To uninstall only the tslib package we can use the following command:
