Thank you MiyoLinux, and everyone else.

Ron, the xfce4 power manager works on my "miyo mate". If you previously removed it, and if you don't want to install the xfce4-panel along with it...install it with this command...

sudo apt-get install xfce4-power-manager --no-install-recommends

I can't answer your second question. That's a question for AntoFox...the Mate maintainer for Devuan.

So should I install Xfce's power manager? Or something else?

Another more disturbing question: if Mate's power manager has systemd as a dependency, will the whole Mate desktop one day have it as a dependency?

AntoFox maintains Mate for Devuan. He posted this last month.

Here's the answer. mate-power-manager is banned in ASCII.

In looking at Debian's page, mate-power-manager is a separate package apart from mate-power-manager-common, and it appears to not be available in ASCII.

As mlsmith said, it also shows systemd as a dependency...or consolekit. This is just a guess, but perhaps the Devuan developers are still working on the actual mate-power-manager (?)...I don't know. Sorry Ron.

I don't see that in Synaptic in the list of dependencies. But then, why wouldn't I see upower's Power Manager in Mate's control center? I know it would show Xfce's power manager if it were installed.

Looks like systemd is a dependency of mate-power-manager. Perhaps that's the issue?

Re: [SOLVED] [Miyo] Power Manager is missing in my setup

But according to Synaptic it is installed.

That means it's not installed. I have mate-power-manager-common available in jessie. Should be the same in ASCII.

I get bash: mate-power-manager: command not found

If I put sudo in front I get: sudo: mate-power-manager: command not found

It doesn't help if I put in mate-power-manager-common either.

EDIT:
I also tried to reinstall it in hopes the same error message would pop up again, but it did not.

Ron, what happens if you open the terminal and enter...

mate-power-manager

I hope that's right since I'm unfamiliar with Mate still...

I had forgotten about this little problem I have but was reminded of it through a different problem (which is now solved, I hope). I am posting it here as it is a separate problem (I think so, at least).

As the subject line states, I have no access to the power manager. It usually should be in the Mate Control center, but it's not. I have upower installed. I thought maybe if I installed mate-power-manager-common then the power manager link would show up in the control center, but it did not. Another thing is after installing this, an error message popped up which unfortunately I did not write down. But it is installed according to Synaptic, along with upower.

Is there a way to check which one is running? Or if any? Thanks.
