Missing Package
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the package you were searching for is not available in
|
|
Fedora. There are a few common reasons why a package might not be in
|
|
Fedora's repositories:
|
|
|
|
* Fedora does not include software that is
|
|
link:Package_Not_Found#Patents[ encumbered by software patents].
|
|
* Fedora does not include proprietary software, only software with an
|
|
link:Licensing[ acceptable license].
|
|
* It is possible that no one has packaged it yet. You might consider
|
|
adding it to the link:PackageMaintainers/WishList[Package WishList], or
|
|
even link:PackageMaintainers/Join[packaging it yourself]!

|
|
Missing Codec
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the codec you were searching for is not available in
|
|
Fedora. A codec is a program that enables encoding and/or decoding of a
|
|
data stream, in a specific format such as MP3, MOV, or WMV.
|
|
|
|
There are a few common reasons why a codec might not be in Fedora's
|
|
repositories:
|
|
|
|
* Many codecs are proprietary or link:Package_Not_Found#Patents[patent
|
|
encumbered].
|
|
* Some codecs may not be encumbered, but may be under an
|
|
link:Licensing[unacceptable license].
|
|
|
|
The Fedora Project FAQ and community sites provide answers to commonly
|
|
asked questions. link:Third_party_repositories[Third party repositories]
|
|
contain a wide variety of software that has not been included in the
|
|
official Fedora software repositories for various reasons. You can find
|
|
additional software using a search engine like
|
|
http://google.com[Google]. We would love to give you more specific
|
|
instructions on enabling additional codecs but our hands are tied up due
|
|
to software patents and legal restrictions around them. We apologize for
|
|
the inconvenience caused by software patents and our legal team is
|
|
working on getting these restrictions removed when it is possible to do
|
|
so. Scroll down more for details on what we are doing and how you can
|
|
help.

|
Missing Driver
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the driver you were searching for is not available in
|
|
Fedora. There are a few common reasons why a driver might not be in
|
|
Fedora's repositories:
|
|
|
|
* Some drivers are proprietary or link:Package_Not_Found#Patents[patent
|
|
encumbered].
|
|
* Some hardware may not be supported under Linux yet, or is not yet in
|
|
the upstream Linux kernel.
|
|
|
|
Fedora strongly encourages new drivers to be included in upstream, and
|
|
does not package individual, out-of-tree, kernel drivers.
|
|
|
|
The Fedora Project FAQ and the more informal, unofficial
|
|
http://fedorafaq.org[1] provide useful answers on commonly asked
|
|
questions. However, the unofficial site is not associated with or
|
|
supported by the Fedora Project. You can find many interesting things
|
|
using a search engine like http://google.com[Google].
|
|
link:Third_party_repositories[Third party repositories] might contain
|
|
software that has been not been included in the official Fedora software
|
|
repository.

|
|
Missing Font
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, the font you were searching for is not available in
|
|
Fedora. There are a few common reasons why a font might not be in
|
|
Fedora's repositories:
|
|
|
|
* Fedora does not include proprietary fonts, it only uses fonts with an
|
|
link:Licensing/Fonts[ acceptable font license].
|
|
* It is possible that no one has packaged that font yet. You might
|
|
consider adding it to the :Category:Font_wishlist[Font WishList], or
|
|
even link:PackageMaintainers/Join[packaging it yourself]!
|
|
|
|
[[missing-mime-support]]
|
|
Missing MIME Support
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately, there is nothing in Fedora that claims to support the
|
|
MIME type you were searching for. There are a few common reasons why
|
|
Fedora may not have support for a MIME type:
|
|
|
|
* Many MIME types are Windows-only. You may be able to use
|
|
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wine_(software)[Wine] to run a Windows
|
|
program under Linux that supports your MIME type.
|
|
* Some MIME types are only supported by proprietary or
|
|
link:Package_Not_Found#Patents[patent encumbered] software.
|
|
* It is possible that acceptable software to support your MIME type
|
|
exists, but that no one has packaged it yet. You might consider adding
|
|
it to the link:PackageMaintainers/WishList[Package WishList], or even
|
|
link:PackageMaintainers/Join[packaging it yourself]!
