As an open-source alternative to MS outlook, Evolution works good, and can replace the needs within e-mailing for users to a more cost-effective solution (like Evolution). But Evolution has its own little bag of standards, unlike MS outlook Evolution by default keeps a tight/strict confirmation towards standards..

One of these standards is the use of dashes (–) in signatures. If you follow the standards for signatures strictly, you should use two dashes followed by a space (e.g. — ) before your signature.Of course in modern day society nobody understands / uses this convention strictly, so here is an explanation how to remove the — (double dash) by default before your signature with Evolution .

Remove the default — (double dash space) before your signature within Evolution

1) Open the GCONF-editor (run gconf-editor)
2) Browse towards the key /apps/evolution/mail/composer/no_signature_delim
3) Change the value of the ‘no_signature_delim’ parameter to false
4) Log in again / Reboot to make it effective

As easy as that, now you know :)

Thanks to uwstopia for the tip!

Howto install ATI Radeon X1300/X1550 support on Ubuntu 9.04+ . It’s actually quite easy, just install the open source driver. Forget the support from ATI/AMD, it isn’t there. But the opensource driver is good enough.

First install the ATI open source driver following this howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver

Then, don’t forget to enable the kernelmode setting, following this howto: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/KernelModeSetting

if you don’t have a /etc/default/grub , but don’t worry, that’s pretty normal (as mentioned in the kernelmode setting)

Well the Citrix installation is pretty easy, just download the files @ Citrix , extract and run (preferably as superuser/root) the ./setupwfc file.

When it comes to Citrix & Linux, the certificates are at least for me the most common error. You get an error message like this

You have chosen not to trust " XX ", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).

in my case:

You have chosen not to trust "PositiveSSL CA", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).

Which ofcourse makes sense, as long as the root certificate is not present, it will not accept this SSL host. To make life easy and be lazy, just copy all the certificates from Mozilla, just because the most common certificates are present there. Copy the Mozilla cert to the Citrix directory

sudo cp /usr/share/ca-certificates/mozilla/* /usr/lib/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/

Which will provide you with the most common certificates. Of course you can grab your own root certificates at your provider, the choice is up to you
