I think I have finally found the best way to use Evolution with Gmail IMAP on a laptop. I installed a local dovecot server that only listens on localhost and setup offlineimap to sync my local dovecot imap server with gmail's server. I then connect evolution to my local server and have offlineimap run as often as I want to sync. Now I have offline messages and evolution is very fast. Using offlineimap to store the messages in a folder did not work so well because evolution did not recognize the inbox folder as the actual inbox. In ubuntu, this process is pretty trivial. The following command will install offlineimap and dovecot: sudo apt-get install offlineimap dovecot Dovecot config I then changed two lines in dovecot. Since I am running a local server, I don't need ssl, and I don't want to listen on external interfaces so I edited /etc/dovecot/dovecot.conf as follows: protocols = imap listen = localhost offlineimap config Configuring offline imap is pretty easy.

Following a tip I found on on blog.paulbetts.org , I was able to get my Dell D800 with nVidia Quadro FX Go1000 to hibernate and resume correctly. The tip is reproduced below: In the Device section: Section "Device" ... Driver "nvidia" ... Option "NvAGP" "1" ... EndSection Then I included in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist the following line: blacklist intel_agp. HIBERNATE_MODE=platform After a reboot, hibernation now works like it should.

I recently got a Dell latitude d800 laptop that is for my own use. I am excited to be returning to FreeBSD after quite a while away. It seems like everytime I set it up, I am always looking for the colors I like, so I am going to post them here. export CLICOLOR=YES export LSCOLORS="DxGxFxdxCxDxDxhbadExEx"

I was having difficulty getting festival to work in the latest Ubuntu. I found quite a few places that said to add the following three lines to my $HOME/.festivalrc file: (Parameter.set 'Audio_Command "aplay $FILE") (Parameter.set 'Audio_Method 'Audio_Command) (Parameter.set 'Audio_Required_Format 'snd) Those lines did not work for me, but when I changed aplay to paplay in the first line, it started working.
