Evolution calendar reset

This is mostly a reminder on how to do it, but maybe other people might find it useful.

I had a problem after changing my default Google Calendar (this was another adventure) my calendar in Evolution kept failing sync with timeout.

Tried to simply right-click and delete, but it would again fail with timeout.

So, first backup (just to be sure), and shut evolution down.
Then I went into the $HOME/.local/share/evolution/calendar/system and deleted all entries on that directory.

Then launched gconf-editor and under apps->evolution->calendar there is an entry named sources.
Double click will take you to the another window where you can find which of the xml entries is the one from Google (usually it is the last one).

Delete all tag relating to your calendars. In the end should look like this:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<group uid="xxxxxxxxxx.xxxx.x@machine-name" name="Google" base_uri="google://" readonly="no"></group>

Then just relaunched evolution. Everything is default now. Just reconfigure the Google Calendars and re-sync.

Create a evolved signature copy/paste

Hi everyone,

I again searched for the ability to attach a signature in SCN posts. But after reading this thread I decided to come up with a way to quickly add a signature to a post.

For simple signature (just text) it takes just a key combination to add a signature. Here's how:

1) You'll need a clipboard manager named Ditto.

2) Install (during installation check to have Ditto start on system startup) and open it.

3) Create a simple text file with your signature and copy that text.

4) Left click the Ditto icon on the taskbar (where the windows clock is).

5) Check that your text appears on the list and right-click.

6) Select the Properties on the context menu.

7) Check the Never Auto Delete.

8) Check the Hotkey available globally.

9) Define the Hot Key.

That's it. Now in your post (once you are finished) just press the key combination that you defined.

This also works for HTML, but you'll need to use the Advanced Editor, and Insert Raw HTML. This allows more elaborate signatures.
