[00:53] <reya276> anyone here knows Java?
[00:54] <reya276> if so is there a way for me to get my server information such as CPU type, Speed, Ram. Information sort of like iostats
[00:56] <mhall119> you can make system calls and parse the output
[00:57] <govatent> -j #ubuntu-jp
[00:58] <govatent> sorry my kb layout is all messed up 
[00:58] <mhall119> yeah yeah, blame the keyboard
[00:58] <mhall119> reya276: Java only really knows about the JVM
[00:58] <govatent> i am trying to setup the correct japanese layout for my jap kb
[00:58] <mhall119> that's kind of the point of a VM
[00:58] <mhall119> 'jap kb' sounds a little derogatory
[00:59] <govatent> fine. my japanese keyboard {p
[00:59] <govatent> i dont even know where all the symbols are now 
[00:59] <govatent> i could set it to us layout, but i am alan. 
[01:00] <mhall119> lol
[01:00] <govatent> btw, do you think they would yell at me if i asked a question in ubuntu-jp about my jp keyboard in english
[01:00]  * mhall119 assumes 'but i am alan' is an excuse for all kinds of things
[01:00] <govatent> lol
[01:00] <mhall119> govatent: only one way to find out
[01:01] <mhall119> I'd avoid using the abbreviation 'jap' though
[01:01] <govatent> of course
[01:01] <govatent> i was not gonna write it like that there 
[01:01] <govatent> here i am just being lazy 
[01:01] <govatent> i figured if anyone can help with this layout problem is ubuntu-jp
[01:01] <mhall119> probably
[01:01] <reya276> is there a CLI script which can output all that information to a file?
[01:02] <mhall119> all what information?
[01:02] <reya276> or is there a way to do that
[01:02] <reya276> Server system information and stats
[01:02] <mhall119> reya276: cat /proc/cpuinfo
[01:02] <mhall119> for cpu stats
[01:02] <mhall119> 'free' will give you memory stats
[01:03] <mhall119> or: cat /proc/meminfo
[01:03] <mhall119> for more detailed memory stats
[01:03] <reya276> ok maybe if I explain what it is I need to do you can point me to the right dircetion
[01:03] <mhall119>  /proc has all kinds of fun stuff to cat
[01:04] <reya276> I have to create a web app which will display server statistics for all of our servers including some WinJunk ones
[01:04] <mhall119> ok
[01:06] <mhall119> you're going to need separate code for the different systems
[01:06] <mhall119> there's no standard way, that I know of, of getting it
[01:16] <govatent> mhall119, they helped me
[01:17] <govatent> It works now. Alan is happy 
[01:50] <mhall119> yay
[01:53] <govatent> Actually talked with a very nice fellow for a bit. 
[01:55] <mhall119> good
[02:32] <reya276> Hey how can I remove KDE files which I don't need
[02:32] <reya276> without breaking my system, I'm on Ubuntu 10.10 right now
[02:32] <reya276> is it sudo apt-get remove --purge kde*
[13:00] <madcSPYnX> hi guys
[13:00] <maxolasersquad> hi madcSPYnX 
[13:00] <madcSPYnX> can anyone help me i wipe my files on my external hdd and i want to recover it all
[13:01] <madcSPYnX> can anyone help me
[13:01] <madcSPYnX> is there any human here
[13:03] <tiemonster> yes
[13:03] <madcSPYnX> can u help me
[13:03] <tiemonster> how did you wipe them?
[13:03] <madcSPYnX> i want to recover my files in my 1tb 
[13:04] <madcSPYnX> i accidentall format in disk utility in my ubuntu desktop
[13:04] <tiemonster> yeah - I did the same thing to my external
[13:04] <tiemonster> I haven't found a solution yet, although I know one exists
[13:04] <tiemonster> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[13:05] <madcSPYnX> tnx
[13:05] <tiemonster> yeah
[13:05] <tiemonster> madcSPYnX: if you have luck, let me know
[13:06] <tiemonster> I lost every photo we have of the first six months of my child's life
[13:15] <mhall119> tiemonster: do you still have the drive?
[13:22] <tiemonster> mhall119: yes. tucked away safely until the next LoCo meeting. :-)
[13:44] <mhall119> tiemonster: can you dd it to a file?
[13:45] <tiemonster> I don't have a larger drive
[13:45] <mhall119> hmmm...
[13:45] <mhall119> it's less safe to work on the original...
[13:46] <tiemonster> I could mount it r/o, right?
[13:46] <mhall119> yeah, if it has no physical damage that should be okay
[13:46] <tiemonster> yeah - it's fine
[13:46] <mhall119> apt-cache show recoverjpeg
[13:46] <tiemonster> I just overwrote the partition table
[13:46] <tiemonster> I was looking at foremost
[13:47] <tiemonster> seems to do more
[13:47] <mhall119> apt-cache show testdist
[13:47] <mhall119> apt-cache show testdisk
[13:47] <mhall119> testdisk says it can recover lost partitions
[13:47] <tiemonster> I'd rather try to recover the files first, then try that
[13:48] <mhall119> if the files are safe, maybe all you need is to recover the partition tables
[13:48] <mhall119> which would give you access to the old filesystems again
[13:48] <tiemonster> I want to try to recover the files before I try recovering the partition table, though
[13:48] <mhall119> testdisk package also has photorec, which I've used before with moderate success
[13:48] <tiemonster> I have another TB I can try to restore to
[13:49] <tiemonster> anyways, I'm off to class
[13:49] <mhall119> have fun
[13:50] <tiemonster> thanks
[13:57] <madcSPYnX> hi
[14:04] <mhall119> madcSPYnX: check out testdisk, foremost and recoverjpeg
[14:04] <mhall119> they're in the repositories
[16:15] <mhall119> zoopster: ping
[16:15] <zoopster> yo mhall119
[16:16] <mhall119> want to do OG today?
[16:17] <mhall119> anybody in the Boca Raton area interested in a 6-month contract for perl developer?
[16:18] <tiemonster> Boca - strike 1
[16:18] <tiemonster> contract - strike 2
[16:18] <tiemonster> perl - strike 3
[16:18] <amouge> lol
[16:18] <tiemonster> :-)
[16:19] <amouge> I still have a perm php position available in tampa area
[16:19] <amouge> not gonna make you rich
[16:19] <tiemonster> =="there still room in the 9th circle of hell for you"
[16:19] <amouge> but its 40+ hours a week
[16:19] <amouge> lolol
[16:19] <tiemonster> I'd rather learn perl
[16:19] <amouge> lmfao @ tiemonster
[16:20] <mhall119> tiemonster: lolo
[16:21] <mhall119> tiemonster: I've got a contract position in Tampa for a django developer still
[16:21] <tiemonster> if only it were a little closer
[16:21] <tiemonster> I'm enjoying my job atm, though
[16:21] <mhall119> I know
[16:21] <tiemonster> is it at Moffitt?
[16:21] <mhall119> it's hard to beat a full time django developer position near you
[16:21] <tiemonster> yeah
[16:21] <tiemonster> I made it myself
[16:21] <mhall119> tiemonster: yeah, at Moffitt, through a contracting company
[16:21] <amouge> yea unfortionatly my boss is looking for an entry level php developer
[16:22] <mhall119> probably $40/hour for the contract here
[16:23] <amouge> heh damn knew i shoulda grabbed django a little harder by the horns
[16:23] <amouge> thats double what im getting right now
[16:23] <mhall119> amouge: you can apply without knowing Django
[16:23] <mhall119> we're open to someone who is strong enough in everthing else
[16:23] <mhall119> since learning python and django isn't all that hard
[16:24] <mhall119> heck, they hired me here before I knew any python or django
[16:24] <amouge> hmmmmm
[16:29] <tiemonster> $40/hr? I might relocate for that...
[16:33] <mhall119> zoopster: ?

[16:38] <tiemonster> http://logs.ubuntu-eu.org/free/2009/12/08/%23ubuntu-us-fl.html
[16:38] <zoopster> mhall119: cannot do lunch today
[16:39] <zoopster> mhall119: am on a call and not paying attention
[16:40] <mhall119> ok
[17:16] <maxolasersquad> tiemonster: Unfortunately, PHP is where the jobs are at, so what's one to do?
[17:24] <mhall119> learn java
[17:24] <mhall119> it pays better most of the time anyway
[17:27] <maxolasersquad> I'm not sure I'd want that stigma.
[17:27] <maxolasersquad> Worse than PHP IME.
[17:27] <maxolasersquad> The stigma that is.
[17:28] <maxolasersquad> It seems that there is an abondance of horrible developers out there who trend towards programming in Java.
[17:58] <mhall119> maxolasersquad: true, Java makes it easy for horrible developers to survive, because it limits just how bad your code can be
[18:00] <mhall119> there's plenty of horrible PHP developers out there, but they tend to expose their horrible-ness much faster
[18:00] <mhall119> but that part of the reason major corporations prefer Java
[18:01] <mhall119> you can get a lot done safely with mediocre developers
[18:01] <mhall119> done of it will be brilliant, but it'll mostly work
[18:03] <mhall119> s/done/none/
[18:24] <maxolasersquad> mhall119: Given I also work heavily in PL/SQL, I should have no shame. :O
[18:28] <mhall119> lol
[18:59] <tiemonster> I read that as "<masochist> I work in PL/SQL. I have no shame."
[18:59] <tiemonster> and thought, "that's about right"
[19:28] <mhall119> itnet7: have you done any hacking on your chumby?
[19:47] <itnet7> mhall119: I never received a chumby, I won a Pandaboard at UDS. I have the firmware on the sd card, and I need to get an HDMI to DVI converter (really the time more or less to pick up a converter)
[19:47] <itnet7> It looks like it's going to be really cool
[19:47] <itnet7> they have a netbook 11.04 image for it
[19:49] <mhall119> itnet7: oh, i thought you had a chumby, nevermind then
[19:50] <itnet7> mhall119: no, zoopster has a chumby
[19:51] <mhall119> ah, ok
[19:51] <mhall119> zoopster: ever do any hacking on your chumby?
[21:00] <RoAkSoAx> itnet7: \o/
