Signature in Evolution

You can have evolution to execute a script as your signature. I had set it so, but whatever I do:

#!/usr/bin/sh
echo "-- "
echo "Senthil"
exec fortune -s

Resulted in something like this:

-- Senthil BOFH excuse #261: The Usenet news is out of date

Finally figured out with the help of this post(thanks man!), that evolution is actually storing every compose action as HTML so

I would need to wrap it in HTML the output of my script to make it a legible signature.

Upgraded Ubuntu from 8.10 to 9.04

This was on my Thinkpad T400 laptop, where Ubuntu is installed through Wubi.

After upgrade, X could not start. No GUI No Window Manager.

Followed the steps mentioned here.

The problem was with fglrx driver.

1) Go to Recovery mode during boot.
2) Choose to drop into Shell with networking support

and do

sudo apt-get remove xorg-driver-fglrx

Reboot. It started working for me.

First thing you will notice in 9.04 is the notification system it has. Nice eye candy stuff.
