Hi All,
Using the Debian/Devuan instructions I successfully installed TDE on MX Linux. I started with a copy of the Devuan installation page and added a few extra bits I would have wanted if I’d seen the page ‘cold’ or been a noob as they say.
It’s here:

Be gentle, it’s my first time ;)

As a side note, it’s a pretty nice distribution. Full disk encryption (FDE) seems to work, even the un-mounting during shutdown (which is broken on Devuan).
And in the useless but cool category it has a ‘battery’ applet that populates the taskbar that even shows the percent power left in the battery of my wireless mouse. I’m pretty sure it migrated over from Xfce that’s installed by default?
Best, Michael

Wow! The mouse battery level reporting is something I've wanted ~forever!

Hi Leslie,
I don't mind tracking down where/what it's coming from, but TDE Dev's would you confirm the mouse battery level isn't coming from a TDE app? That way I'm only digging through Xfce 'stuff.'

I don't know exactly what this about, but TDE did always report batterey level when the mouse hooverd over the tdepowersave icon.

but if it is a bluetooth mouse and you mean the battery level of the mouse, this is definitely not coming from TDE.

I'm using a loaner Logitech M570 trackball (wireless USB dongle) seating up the new system. It shows trackball battery at 60%.

On my desktop system, hovering the cursor just shows "Plugged in" (of course); there is no information about the state of my mouse (which is a Logitech wireless USB mouse). There seems to be nothing in the kpowersave configuration that could change this. I always assumed that kpowersave was only useful for laptops?
