Thanks chloe for designing a cool logo for atutility.com

Finally upgraded to 9.04 Jaunty, here’s some times might help:
1. ATI Technologies Inc RS480 [Radeon Xpress 200G Series]
xorg-driver-fglrx is not supporting this card, so after upgrade, you have to manually remove fglrx packages:
dpkg -r fglrx-amdcccle xorg-driver-fglrx fglrx-modaliases fglrx-kernel-source xorg-driver-fglrx-dev
after that, reconfigure xserver-xorg:
dpkg-reconfigure -phigh xserver-xorg

2. Root terminal is not working
Here’s the problem:
$ gksu /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
Failed to contact the GConf daemon; exiting.
$ gksu -d /usr/bin/x-terminal-emulator
No ask_pass set, using default!

I’m not a guru on GNOME or GConf, so here’s how I solved it without changing anything:
1. use xterm: change the command to
gksu /usr/bin/xterm

2. use xfce4-terminal
gksu /usr/bin/xfce4-terminal

You can also use other terminals of course. That just a lazy programmer’s solution.

I’d been using SQuirrel SQL Client since 2005 when it’s in version 2.0, and this time the 3.0 released changed the GUI greatly and I’d like to say I like the new GUI!
1. Give you the largest work space
2. Auto hide Drivers/Aliases window, since you don’t need them once you connected to Database

Some features request:
1. re-connect icon in toolbar
2. session SQL history (note: the global SQL history currently)
3. edit the result set in a automatically generated Form

1. change /etc/apt/sources.list , replace etch to lenny. here’s my example:
deb http://http.us.debian.org/debian/ lenny main contrib non-free
deb http://security.debian.org/ lenny/updates main contrib

2. apt-get install apt dpkg aptitude

3. apt-get update ; apt-get upgrade

4. apt-get dist-upgrade

Somebody skipped step 3 and also works fine.
Now your server is running Lenny. In my case, I don’t even have to reboot the machine.

Bug fixed for English units.

Time to challenge your memory. Here’s some screenshot:

Although there’s several calculator widgets existing, I still feels that my widgets has some advantages:

1. standard and scientific mode

2. Designed using pure HTML, not graphics, so I hope it use less system resources.
3. Support keyboard shortcut, so you can use keyboard like an desktop calculator, press ‘ALT’ key will show them.

4. In standard calculator, it has a tip (15%) button, for example: you spent $85 at a nice restaurant and you’d like to pay 15% tips, which is $12.75.

Another opera widgets: Whois, here’s some screenshot
