Solution: SSL Error Citrix Receiver - Error 61 - Ubuntu - You have not chosen to trust "/C=US/ST=/L=/0=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority/CN=", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).
Solution: SSL Error Citrix Receiver - Error 61 - You have not chosen to trust "/C=US/ST=/L=/0=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority/CN=", the issuer of the server's security certificate (SSL error 61).
====================================
Solution.
1. Visit the GeoTrust Certificate Authority Web Site. Here is the URL of the exact page you need to visit: http://www.geotrust.com/resources/root-certificates/index.html
2. Near the top of the page, there are two links to verify Equifax's certificate. Right click the lower of the two links. Chose 'save' from the context sensitive menu that you'll see upon right clicking the lower of the two URLs associated with Equifax. You want the 'der' encoded x.509 certificate.
3. Rename the .cer to .crt.
4. As root copy the file from its saved download location to /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
** Step 4. In a console, bash shell, navigate to the folder that contains the saved/downloaded certificate: type sudo cp Equifax_* /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/keystore/cacerts/
5. You're done and now should be able to open your ".ica" files

Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery
http://macles.blogspot.com/2008/08/acer-aspire-one-bios-recovery.html
Acer Aspire One BIOS Recovery
The Acer Aspire One has a built-in BIOS recovery routine, which can boot into a minimal BIOS environment via a special boot block to re-flash the BIOS, even if the system does not pass POST and does otherwise not boot anymore. This procedure is also known as Crisis Disk.
First format an USB flash drive with FAT. It does not need to be bootable.
Download the latest BIOS, and extract all files. Put both FLASHIT.EXE and the BIOS file with FD suffix in the root directory of the flash drive. The files must not be in a folder. Rename the BIOS file to ZG5IA32.FD before proceeding. It only works with this exact filename.
Turn the AA1 off, and verify both battery and AC adapter are plugged in.
Press Fn and Esc simultaneously, keep them pressed and press the power button. Release Fn+Esc after a few seconds. The power button starts blinking at this point. Press it once. The AA1 will now access the files on the flash drive and initiate flashing the BIOS. After a while the power button stops blinking, and the AA1 reboots by itself. Wait patiently.
If it doesn't reboot, but keeps blinking, wait at least a few minutes before turning it off, and try again.
