Hello Everyone,

I have done a woof2 build of Manna OS built upon precise-5.5 with the latest fixes to woof just before BarryK did precise5.6(Beta1). So any fixes to woof since than will not be in this one.

There have been fixes to the Xorgwizard that you can read here
http://bkhome.org/blog2/?viewDetailed=00226

I have made some modifications to jwm and to the PPM. JWM has a new category called of course Manna and the PPM also has a new category called the same. This will show what programs are available just as the other ones do. Make sure you check the manna-repo and restart the PPM just like the others. Everything for manna will install in the manna category in the menu.

I have just did a Beta2 build and uploaded it.

FIXES:

Add the standard menu back in along with the manna special menu they both will have a entry in the menu right below the Help to switch to the other menu. You will need to wait about 6sec. for the change to be completed.
All my teachings now will not uninstall the icons in the menu for that category.
wbar now will have a symbolic link in the Startup folder in root.

ADDED:

vlc-2.0.3 in the repo
Also made a Favorite category in the menu. To edit just change the category in the desktop.file of the program you want in that category. Type this in it's place X-Favorites for the category in the desktop.file



It has kernel-3.2.44-nopae-i586-precise

Manna-OS 2.8 is 178mb and devs is here http://smokey01.com/Oldyeller/manna2.8

Hi oldyeller.

I did download your Manna 2.8, yesterday. It boots straight to the graphical desktop without the need to use nouveau.noaccel=1 as a boot option (precise 5.4 did need this as well as MacPup 529). When detecting the optical drives it seems to take a few seconds more to release and also when changing keyboard and language settings at the welcome splash GUI takes really long time to offer option to restart X after settings changed.

Anything else seems to be Ok here.

The missing menu entries are a bit confusing - not only because of such smart Applications like the woof built in LazY FReD * can not be used out of the box.

' really surprising to me...

I did download mainly because I wanted to have a look at your modifications on the PPM, but unfortunately the Manna category didn't offer anything (I did everything as you described to configure/refresh/restart the PPM) - however: I will examine the code though.

Just one thing to say: please, in the name of the Lord, give LazY FReD back to the Manna People! .

Greetings,

RSH

Hello Everyone, RSH;



here is the code to put the menu full back into Manna This file is in /etc/xdg/templates/_root_.jwmrc this is the one you want

[R-S-H]

Hi.

Regards the PPM:

Seems to be my fault, I'd select both of the Manna categories - then the field was empty.

Hello Everyone,

While I was looking at the standard menu I did notice that the mannaeditor had no icon in the menu. I have made a pet to fix that issue.

Hello Everyone,

I have modified installerwb so that it will show up in the Favorites along with BibleAnalyzer and theWord. I also did e-sword.

You can get installerwb-manna2.0.pet here http://www.smokey01.com/Oldyeller/pets/

Don't forget that e-sword is not in the installer you can get it here http://www.e-sword.net/downloads.html

If you have wine installed already just delete the BibleAnalyzer, theWord and e-sword.pets; you can install these: they will go into the Favorites menu

Enjoy

I'm a regular Ubuntu based Puppy lover, and what's more your avatar reminds me of my Lab, sadly parted to the Rainbow Bridge, at 13, nearly a year ago.
So I'm gonna give your new Pup a try. Sounds great, and versatile etc. I'll let you know how it goes with my bad habits, not to mention electricity cuts when it's stormy (I live in the back of beyond on a mountain, in a 60 person village! And I know I should buy a whatsit, to keep my PC going a little while, and shut down been saying it for ages ) Here goes the d/loading.
Thanks for your work, I'm just too lazy at the moment

Hi starlyte,


Sorry to hear about your lab.

My Sister was married to a man that was from a s small town-blink your eye and you just went through it. It is call Leader it is in Minnesota US.

I hope you enjoy Manna OS

Hello Everyone,

I have been doing some books and making them into pets. I have uplaoded two of them:

A Fourfold Salvation by A.W. Pink
All Joy in All Trials by C. H. SPURGEON

The rest of the books will be up hopefuly between now and July.

I have also worked on e17 that was done by pemasu, fluxbox by dejan555 this pet was compiled for Slacko but it works just fine in Manna OS and openbox by vicmz. All of these are up and in the repo. Just update the PPM to get the new pets.

All these wm's will be usable in Manna OS. they will show the Manna and Favorites Category.

Hope you will enjoy, Cheers

[R-S-H]

Hi. oldyeller.

I do use pemasu's e17 Window Manager in one my LazY Puppy 3 versions (build in).

When clicking on a icon in the iBar and moving mouse-pointer accidentally it could remove all the icons from the iBar and they seem not to be able to return using e17's configuration tools.

So, I did write a small script to reset the original configuration of the iBar. Unfortunately this will work out of the box only when e17 is loaded at boot up (to find in pup_z) or if build in (to find in pup_ro2).

I will attach the PET for you either to modify it for the use of installed version when using a save file or for the use in a Manna OS with (maybe) build in e17 Window Manager.

Its Menu entry goes to menu Desktop (Category DesktopSettings).

Have fun...

RSH
