Enable Compiz-Fusion on your GDM Login

One of the things that really bothered me about the GDM was no Compiz-Fusion Shadow around the login window. Compiz is obviously not present for good reason but it is possible to enable Compiz-Fusion on GDM if you can run Compiz.

Xorg Memory Leak Fix for Lucid 10.04 and Maverick 10.10 ATI Proprietary fglrx

As much as this should be fixed by now, it is not. A real and true memory leak fix does not exist and probably won’t for quite some time.

Evolution Mail 2.26.1 – Not deleting trash

After switching from windoz to Linux, I immediately started using Evolution Mail after being an Outlook user for many years. Evolution in many ways is better than Outlook besides being free, but there is a small issue.

Sometimes, somehow and someway the client loses sync with folders and this little bash script will fix the problem. I originally found this on the Ubuntu forums a few months ago.


#!/bin/bash
# see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=974536
cd $HOME/.evolution/mail
echo "Deleting .index(s)";
find -name "*.index" -exec rm {} \;
echo "Deleting .ev-summary(s)";
find -name "*.ev-summary" -exec rm {} \;
echo "Deleting .cmeta(s)";
find -name "*.cmeta" -exec rm {} \;
echo "Done.";
