09:52 <stellar-slack> <armed10> When writing to the history the permissions of the ledger is 600. Is this with a specific reason ? or can we change this is in the config file or with an extra script ?

11:32 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> how do I change the result_xdr into a usable english result in js-sdk for example server.submitTransaction(transaction).then(function(result) { ; result.result_xdr becomes AAAAAAAAAGQAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAA= ; I know there is a simple way to convert this, I just have no examples in any of my code

11:36 <stellar-slack> <armed10> http://stellar.github.io/xdr-viewer/ ?

11:56 <stellar-slack> <bartek> @sacarlson: if you want to decode it via code try this: ``` var buffer = new Buffer("AAAAAAAAAGQAAAAAAAAAAQAAAAAAAAABAAAAAAAAAAA=", "base64"); var transactionResult = StellarBase.xdr.TransactionResult.fromXDR(buffer); console.log(transactionResult.feeCharged().toString()); ``` it's really low level so it's much easier to use horizon response.

11:57 <stellar-slack> <bartek> you can also check xdr-viewer code to find out how to read switches etc.

11:59 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> ok I'll give that a try bartek. but it seems when I force a transaction with not enuf funds I don't get a return anyway instead I'm getting this error

12:01 <stellar-slack> <bartek> you can catch it to check what's the error: ``` server.submitTransaction(transaction) .then(function() {...}) .catch(function(e) { console.log(e); }); ```

12:01 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> ok I'll try that

12:09 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> ya that's better now at least I get the result_xdr back AAAAAAAAAGT/////AAAAAQAAAAAAAAAB/////gAAAAA= that I guess I need to decode with your above code to try

12:10 <stellar-slack> <bartek> or xdr-viewer. but you can find all info about errors in other parts of horizon response.

12:27 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> well this is the responce of my wallet so I want it decoded for the user to see what the problem is

12:28 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> and the code above isn't working with this line var buffer = new Buffer(e.extras.result_xdr, "base64"); throwing error

12:28 <stellar-slack> <bartek> your code is missing `catch` function

12:29 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> no the catch is there the string above is in that with AAAAAAAAAGT/////AAAAAQAAAAAAAAAB/////gAAAAA=

12:30 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> or I need another catch?

12:30 <stellar-slack> <bartek> this works just fine for me: ``` > var buffer = new Buffer("AAAAAAAAAGT/////AAAAAQAAAAAAAAAB/////gAAAAA=", "base64"); undefined > console.log(buffer); <Buffer 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 64 ff ff ff ff 00 00 00 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 01 ff ff ff fe 00 00 00 00> undefined ```

12:30 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> oh ok

12:31 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> so an error that is lack of funding is undefined?

12:32 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I'll try with the string to verify

12:32 <stellar-slack> <bartek> no, you still need to decode it.

12:32 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> right

12:36 <stellar-slack> <armed10> I have a question about accessing a remote history. This history is accessible through ftp for nodes that need to catch up. However, the nodes need access to the ledger as well. The node creates this ledger with very few permissions making it inaccessible via FTP. What would be a good way to keep history private and accessible by select nodes?

12:37 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> that same line is throwing errors even with a string var buffer = new Buffer("AAAAAAAAAGT/////AAAAAQAAAAAAAAAB/////gAAAAA=", "base64");

12:37 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I know the error as I'm forcing the under funding to check error catching

12:39 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> so maybe some other lib I have is conflicting or the sdk min is in error for the new Buffer function

12:40 <stellar-slack> <bartek> @armed10: I'm not sure about this but can't you add a command to change the permission of the file after semicolon, like: ``` put="cp {0} /tmp/stellar-core/history/vs/{1}; chmod 777 /tmp/stellar-core/history/vs/{1}" ``` you need to try it yourself

12:42 <stellar-slack> <bartek> @sacarlson: line number in debugger doesn't always match with the line in a file (especially for minified code). I'm pretty sure that line shouldn't throw any errors. `stellar-sdk` does not overwrite global `Buffer` class.

12:45 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> well all I know is if I comment out that line there is no error

12:45 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I'll try the none min version as I have had problems with min making errors with the none min stellar sdk still working

12:46 <stellar-slack> <armed10> 2016-02-15T13:45:10.253 GBNSP [Process WARN ] process 6768 exited 1: cp stellar-tmp/snapshot-55ded1750713abb9/ledger-0000033f.xdr.gz /home/chain/stellar/history/ledger/00/00/03/ledger-0000033f.xdr.gz; sudo chmod 777 /home/chain/history/ledger/00/00/03/ledger-0000033f.xdr.gz I get this error when i add the chmod

12:47 <stellar-slack> <bartek> does it work in a console?

12:48 <stellar-slack> <bartek> you have: /home/chain/stellar/history/ledger/00/00/03/ledger-0000033f.xdr.gz in cp command and /home/chain/history/ledger/00/00/03/ledger-0000033f.xdr.gz in chmod command

12:49 <stellar-slack> <bartek> so you probably forgot to add prefix in chmod command

12:49 <stellar-slack> <armed10> well that's emberassing

12:55 <stellar-slack> <armed10> 2016-02-15T13:53:53.359 GBNSP [Process WARN ] process 7196 exited 1: sudo cp stellar-tmp/snapshot-13b54002591e5db9/results-0000033f.xdr.gz /home/chain/stellar/history/results/00/00/03/results-0000033f.xdr.gz; sudo chmod 777 /home/chain/stellar/history/results/00/00/03/results-0000033f.xdr.gz 2016-02-15T13:53:53.359 GBNSP [Work WARN ] Reached retry limit 5 for put-remote-file results/00/00/03/results-0000033

12:57 <stellar-slack> <bartek> hmm, there should be `&&` instead of `;` in this command. sorry. now, when first command fails, the second is still executed.

13:03 <stellar-slack> <armed10> You're correct, even so: the same error persists

13:05 <stellar-slack> <armed10> It seems to be a problem with the copy target, but the copy target is no issue without the chmod command

13:07 <stellar-slack> <bartek> `cp: target '/home/chain/stellar/history/transactions/00/00/03/transactions-0000033f.xdr.gz' is not a directory` there is no such directory. so you probably need to write a script that will create all intermediate directories, then copy the file and finally change permissions.

13:09 <stellar-slack> <armed10> That's strange because the script works without fail if we don't set the permissions. I'll try your suggestion

13:10 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I'm still getting this error even if I use the none minified version of stellar-sdk.js

13:10 <stellar-slack> <bartek> @armed10: yeah, that's strange. you need to try it.

13:10 <stellar-slack> <bartek> how does your code look like now?

13:11 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> even with catch

13:11 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I can give you all my code I guess

13:11 <stellar-slack> <bartek> that's everything?

13:12 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> no that's just the line that fails

13:12 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> http://zipperhead.ddns.net/my_wallet/

13:12 <stellar-slack> <eno> http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9812623/bash-shell-scripting-syntactical-issues-target-is-not-a-directory

13:13 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> or you want me to push it to my github?

13:13 <stellar-slack> <bartek> http://zipperhead.ddns.net/my_wallet/ doesn't load anything

13:13 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> oh then my dns isn't updated I'll push it to http://sacarlson.github.io|sacarlson.github.io

13:13 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> give me a moment

13:19 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> ok I pushed the present bugy code to http://sacarlson.github.io/my_wallet/

13:20 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> so the code should be readable from https://github.com/sacarlson/sacarlson.github.io

13:27 <stellar-slack> <armed10> @eno: that was probably it, thanks @bartek We solved it by moving the commands to a seperate bash file

13:31 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> the error happens at line 673 in this file https://github.com/sacarlson/sacarlson.github.io/blob/master/my_wallet/js/transaction_toolsv0.4.0.js

13:35 <stellar-slack> <sacarlson> I'm sure it's something stupid. I'll figure it out tomaro

23:37 <stellar-slack> <eva> n00b question (from me): if you have to have a source account to create a new account on the network, how was the first one created?

23:38 <stellar-slack> <jed> it is the root account. It just exists

23:40 <stellar-slack> <eva> Okay, I can accept that :)
