The MX repos have a keylock indicator, but I couldn’t find one in the antix repos. Is it because I’ve not used the appropriate search terms? Or it’s just because there isn’t any? And if there isn’t any would it be possible to add one to the repos?
An other option would be to download a .deb from somewhere and install it with gdebi, but I’ve not been able to find any either.BobC
It would be better to install it with:
sudo apt install ./xxx.deb
caprea
This would be the appropriate one

I’ve tried to install the deb but didn’t manage.
Got this errorAttachments:
As I said, use apt, not gdebi. It worked just fine on my system…

Is this really the right directory in your case , where you downloaded the file ? ./indicator-keylock_3.1.1-0mx19+1_amd64.deb
Easiest way is to type in terminal sudo apt install and then open a filemanager like rox or spacefm and move the downloaded deb-file from there with the mouse by holding the left key pressed, to the terminal.
When I install a package from a .deb file, I cd to the directory, then do an ls -l to get a list of files, see the file, and then start typing the command, and after I get sudo apt install ./ I type the first few letters (to where it’s unique) of the file name and press the tab key and it completes typing the filename for me. Then I press enter to run the command.
If you aren’t in the right directory it should be obvious because you won’t see the file listed. Maybe caprea’s “use the file manager” idea is a good idea 🙂
I’ve managed to install the app. Issue solved. Thanks guys.
