We provide the software developed by us via our own package repositories for Ubuntu LTS releases as well as for Debian, openSUSE Leap 15.x and 16.x, Tumbleweed, and Fedora. Below you will find information on how to integrate the repositories into the respective operating systems.
TUXEDO Repository
The easiest way to set up both our repositories and the associated GPG key is via the tuxedo-repository package. In addition, by installing tuxedo-suite afterwards, you automatically install supporting software developed by us, such as tuxedo-control-center and tuxedo-tomte-light , and on Ubuntu additionally linux-tuxedo . The two new packages are available for the supported distributions as deb and rpm at the following download links:
After downloading, first install tuxedo-repository using your distribution’s package manager. The following commands apply to the individual distributions (assuming the downloaded file is located in the ~/Downloads directory).
Ubuntu
cd Downloads && sudo apt install ./tuxedo-repository.deb
sudo apt update && sudo apt install tuxedo-suite
Debian 13
cd Downloads && sudo apt install ./tuxedo-repository*_all.deb
sudo apt update && sudo apt install --install-recommends tuxedo-suite
openSUSE 16 and Tumbleweed
cd Downloads && rpm -ihv tuxedo-repository*.noarch.rpm
sudo zypper ref && sudo rpm -ihv tuxedo-suite
Fedora
cd Downloads && sudo dnf install ./tuxedo-repository*.noarch.rpm
sudo dnf update && sudo dnf install tuxedo-suite
You do not need to start either of these two packages explicitly; they perform their tasks automatically.
Alternative setup
If you prefer to follow the manual approach in order to better understand the underlying mechanisms, you will find instructions for the individual supported distributions below.
Ubuntu LTS 24.04, Ubuntu 26.04 LTS (once available)
Step 1a: Add package source (GUI)
From the main menu, start Software & Updates and switch to the Other Software tab.
In the Software & Updates menu, enter the TUXEDO package source to add additional software sources to Ubuntu’s package management system and make them available for use.
Select Add… and enter one of the following lines as the APT entry. Make sure that the codename (currently “noble”; for the upcoming Ubuntu “Resolute Raccoon” 26.04 LTS, “resolute”) matches your system.
Ubuntu LTS 24.04 (Noble Numbat)
deb https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu noble main
Ubuntu LTS 26.04 (Resolute Raccoon)
deb https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu resolute main
Step 1b: Add package source (terminal)
Alternatively, enter one of the following commands in a terminal. Again, select the command that matches your Ubuntu version.
Ubuntu “Noble Numbat” 24.04 LTS
echo 'deb https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu noble main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tuxedo-computers.list
Ubuntu “Resolute Raccoon” 26.04 LTS
echo 'deb https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu resolute main' | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tuxedo-computers.list
For other Ubuntu versions, please adjust the entries accordingly. The information for Ubuntu 26.04 only applies once it has been officially released later this year. Our package sources are tested only for Ubuntu LTS releases and their derivatives such as Kubuntu or Xubuntu.
Step 2: Add key
For the system to accept our package source, you must install the appropriate key. To do so, run the following command once. It downloads and installs the key. Then run the command sudo apt update again to check whether the package sources have been integrated correctly. If you receive the prompt without any error messages, the entry was added successfully.
wget https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/ubuntu/pool/main/t/tuxedo-archive-keyring/tuxedo-archive-keyring_2024.04.01~tux_all.deb
&& sudo dpkg -i tuxedo-archive-keyring_2024.04.01~tux_all.deb
For further background information on the new method used by Debian (starting with Debian 12) to store keys, see the article What are GPG keys used for in repositories?
After successfully adding the package source, the command apt search tuxedo displays an overview of all tools and programs provided by TUXEDO.
Debian 13 “Trixie”
To add the TUXEDO repository to the sources list after installing Debian, we recommend using the graphical package manager Synaptic, which you need to install first. Root privileges are required for the installation. Since sudo is not configured by default on Debian, simply use the following command:
su -
After entering the root password, install Synaptic with:
apt update && apt install synaptic
Add key for the repository:
wget -qO- https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/0x54840598.pub.asc | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/tuxedo-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
This again downloads the GPG key and places it where the package manager expects it.
Add repository
Now open Synaptic, go to Settings » Repositories in the main menu, and click New in the lower left. This activates the three fields URI , Distribution , and Component(s) . In the URI field, enter https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/debian
In the second field (Distribution ), enter the codename trixie , and in the third field (Component(s) ), enter main . Click OK to reload the package sources. The TUXEDO repository is now registered and ready for use. By default, this method adds repositories to the file /etc/apt/sources.list .
Synaptic provides a clear interface that allows you to conveniently add, edit, and manage new package sources without manually editing configuration files.
If you prefer to create an entry in the new deb822 format introduced with Debian 13, you can do so via the command line.
Add repository in the new deb822 format
Use the following command as root to open the sources list and create a new entry at the same time, which you then populate with the details for the TUXEDO repository:
nano /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tuxedo.sources
Enter the following lines and save the file with Ctrl +O and Enter , followed by Ctrl +X :
Types: deb
URIs: https://deb.tuxedocomputers.com/debian
Suites: trixie
Components: main
Enabled: yes
Signed-By: /usr/share/keyrings/tuxedo-archive-keyring.gpg
Activate the entry with the following command:
apt update
Install TCC and drivers with Synaptic
To install the TUXEDO Control Center and the TUXEDO drivers, click Search in Synaptic and enter tuxedo-control-center . Right-click the result and mark it as Mark for Installation .
After marking the packages, Synaptic automatically shows all required dependencies and installs them together with the selected TUXEDO packages after confirmation.
A list of dependencies to be installed opens, which at the bottom also includes the tuxedo-drivers package. After confirming the list, click Apply and confirm the changes.
The TCC and the TUXEDO drivers are then installed, optimally tailoring your Debian installation to your TUXEDO system.
Install TCC and drivers via command line
If you added the repository in the new deb822 format, you can also install everything directly via the command line:
apt update
apt install tuxedo-control-center
As with installation via Synaptic, all required dependencies, including tuxedo-drivers , are installed automatically. Your Debian installation is now fully tuxified .
If you own a TUXEDO InfinityBook Pro or a TUXEDO Stellaris, you additionally need the tuxedo-yt6801 package for Ethernet functionality via the LAN port.
openSUSE Leap 15.x
The easiest way to add package sources is via YaST. Start YaST from the main menu and switch to Software Repositories . Click Add in the lower left and confirm the default selection (Specify URL… ) by clicking Next .
Use YaST to start configuring software repositories on openSUSE and conveniently manage central software sources via a graphical interface.
In the following dialog, enter the following data for openSUSE Leap 15.6:
Adjust the specified version number to match your installed openSUSE Leap version so that YaST correctly integrates and updates the appropriate package source.
YaST now loads the repository index data based on your entries. During this process, you will be prompted to verify and accept the signature of the newly added package source. Once completed, the repository appears in the overview list. Confirm the new settings with OK and exit YaST.
After adding it, the TUXEDO repository appears in YaST’s overview and can be activated or deactivated there at any time if needed.
Note: We only provide limited support for openSUSE Tumbleweed. For NVIDIA devices, please use the corresponding repository provided directly by openSUSE.
openSUSE Leap 16.x
Under openSUSE Leap 16, package sources are no longer managed via the graphical YaST module, but directly via the command line. You therefore add the TUXEDO repository using zypper .
Step 1: Add repository
Open a terminal and add the TUXEDO repository with the following command:
sudo zypper addrepo -f https://rpm.tuxedocomputers.com/opensuse/16.0 "TUXEDO (openSUSE Leap 16.0)"
The addrepo command (short: ar ) adds a new software repository to your system. By also using the -f or –refresh switch, the package sources are automatically refreshed immediately after being added. This ensures that the contained packages are available for installation and updates right away, without requiring a manual refresh.
Note: Adjust the version number in the URL to match the desired minor version of Leap 16.
Step 2: Import GPG key
Normally, the TUXEDO repository already includes the appropriate signing key. If openSUSE nevertheless asks for a key when refreshing the package sources, import it manually:
wget -O 0x54840598.pub.asc https://rpm.tuxedocomputers.com/opensuse/16.0/0x54840598.pub.asc
Step 3: Check repository
To verify that the repository has been added correctly, run:
zypper lr -u | grep -i tuxedo
If an entry such as “TUXEDO (openSUSE Leap 16.0)” with the above URL appears, everything is set up correctly.
Step 4: Install TUXEDO software
You can then install TUXEDO software as usual, for example:
sudo zypper refresh
sudo zypper install tuxedo-control-center tuxedo-drivers
openSUSE Tumbleweed
Proceed analogously to the steps for Leap 15.x. In YaST, enter the following data in the dialog:
YaST will then load the repository index data based on your entries. During this process, you will be prompted to verify and accept the signature of the newly added package source. Once completed, the repository appears in the overview list. Confirm the new settings with OK and exit YaST.
Fedora and derivatives
TUXEDO Computers provides a curated repository for Fedora Linux to install additional software such as keyboard drivers or the TUXEDO Control Center. The repository is hosted on our server .
Preparations
First, make sure your Fedora installation is up to date:
sudo dnf update
The following command will then add the TUXEDO repository to your Fedora installation:
sudo dnf config-manager addrepo --from-repofile="https://rpm.tuxedocomputers.com/fedora/tuxedo.repo"
Import GPG key
Now you can download the GPG key from our repository and import it with the following command:
sudo rpm --import /path/to/directory/0x54840598.pub.asc
You are now ready to install our software like the the TUXEDO Control Center and the TUXEDO drivers:
sudo dnf install tuxedo-control-center
The tuxedo-drivers package is installed automatically as a dependency.
After adding the package sources, you can install additional TUXEDO software such as the TUXEDO Control Center directly via Fedora’s package manager.
Arch Linux and Manjaro
Arch Linux and Manjaro are unofficially supported with drivers and the TUXEDO Control Center. Please refer to the separate article Arch Linux and Manjaro on TUXEDO computers to learn how to add these components.
