maybe wrap numplayers in "quotes"?

undefined o_O

like t['numplayers'];?

yeah

Then maybe try console.log(t) and show us the output

1:05 PM

hang on

console.log works fine

chances are, there's no numplayers key

I used backticks

there is

scroll up a bit

@Zacharee1 NO single quotes!

@Rinzwind I did it by accident :p

or doubles

1:06 PM

Try t[0]["numplayers"]

@Zacharee1 they one I used worked for me ;-)

@grooveplex blank

blegh

Anonymous

@Mateo is that media converter site legit?

@Rinzwind I have to parse dynamically though, because that output will change

Do I need to stringify data, then parse it then display it I think?

I would do l['query']['numplayers'] if l held the output of json.loads(t)

in Python

1:10 PM

lson.loads now?

Maybe that helps

this is JS

I know

idk how to convert :p

But maybe, try t["query"]["numplayers"]

Maybe it works?

1:11 PM

I could try

This is it

hey hey hey

I got 0

It's working for me

good

woohooo

I got to go now

If there's something you want me to see, pleae @mention me

1:12 PM

kk

I shall

now I just need to make sure that 0 can change :p

@onebree who knows, was the first result...

Just don't do the ones that request email or any info

it changes!

@Rinzwind is there a way I can make this script refresh itself every few seconds?

@Zacharee1 Sure. easiest is to reload the page(?)

I mean automatically

I suppose it could still inject somecode int the mp3 ;p

1:14 PM

otherwise you need to crate a "timeout"

hao

put setTimeout() around the function?

Yes

Well

Doesn't like it

Putting it around this:

                                        jQuery.ajax({
                                            url: "https://xpw1.no-ip.org:8443/server",
                                            type: "GET",
                                            headers: {
                                            "X-Access-Server": "ab0a58a5-0be6-4501-9596-c1c9784a356f",
                                            "X-Access-Token": "8f22b1f6-d197-4fc1-8e60-decd6c89c74a",
                                            },

oh no wait

SetInterval is what you need

@Zacharee1

yeah

OK so I need to wrap that in another function

1:20 PM

yep

then make setInterval run that

I like the way you're thinking

Maybe like this

ugh

gist.github.com/anonymous/ece7e773bbb5a74b8363a21bd2a358ab @Zacharee1

I did it ! :D

oh

I think you might also like jsonprettyprint.com

heheh

I put the code in a function and then referred to the function with setInterval

I might

1:23 PM

That's a way to do it

Now I need to get the rest of the data to display as well

well the data that I want

Then I need to format it :p

I can help you

uh oh

the players elements looks like another array

eh, I'll get to it eventually

Here's the JSON you sent us, pretty printed: gist.github.com/anonymous/51071a558cb773d908277b0f8426c71a

oooh

1:28 PM

That's way easier ^^

What kind of data will the players key hold?

Names

so strings

Are you sure you want that to display on your site?

But okay

I think a for loop could help you with that one

well it's in with the setInterval stuff

hang on though

What about we move to our own room>

sure

blade19899

1:29 PM

Does anybody know why Microsoft SNDS blocks every new IP adres I buy?

@blade19899 they hate you

blade19899

@Zacharee1 I already know that; still, how can I keep myself from SNDS?

lol

@Zacharee1 be careful with those :)

@Rinzwind well we're doing setInterval now

Room for grooveplex and Zacharee1

1:48 PM

@blade19899 See this: postmaster.live.com/snds/faq.aspx#DeliverabilityProblems

Q: Login Error Phpvirtualbox

Good morning people. When trying to login in phpvirtualbox returns me the message below. Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/) When I click on details appears as follows: Exception Object ( [message:protected] => Could not connect to host (http://127.0.0.1:18083/) [string:Except...

@ThomasW. I think I need your help with security now

newbie detected

I really should print this out and pin it on my wall:

2

@Rinzwind me?

@Zacharee1 He means that meta question, probably

2:18 PM

ohhh

because I am too ;p

22 hours ago, by Serg

@Zacharee1 roses are red, violets are blue, i am a n00b, but so are you

@Zacharee1 how so?

VTC or delete this Q: askubuntu.com/q/787317/367990

@ThomasW. I now have an API key on my website

it gives access to file deletion

dunno how to hide it or anything

Well I need to go for maybe 20 mins

2:34 PM

@Zacharee1 Nothing I can really suggest on improvement

the question is whether the requestor reaching in has to provide said API key

and if so, then you're limited on options

short of just shutting the port to only IPs you trust

Close/delete this Q, OP asked the same 3 hours earlier and does not really react on the comments requesting information. askubuntu.com/q/787316/367990

Done

That OP... Reverted Arronical's edits and replaces ' (quote) with ` (backtick), resulting in a hideous appearance

Why would anyone actively revert a good edit?

Maybe he can't accept critic and perceives this edit as that?

sigh

When asked for info:

> Is that all I can get from you???

Too many people seem to think we read minds

2:48 PM

One little error message from the software centre and this guy is already opening terminals and ttys and running commands.

2016 will not be the year of the linux desktop :\

We need to abstract away

In every case where a GUI error needs Terminal info, apps should have some sort of 'More details' button that basically shows the output of commands that provide said info

Basically the same thing happens, except users don't need to see the Terminal or enter any command

Update manager does this

@BharadwajRaju no

@Zacharee1 no

Gives you the whole terminal if you want to

@Zacharee1 this one

3

A: help understanding sudo -s

What does the root and # mean in the second command line tag? It means you edit the system as "root". That is 1 more level up than from "sudo" and 1 more up from your normal users activities ... what does this mode allow you to do ... and (almost) all permissions checks are neglected...

2:52 PM

Yes, something like that

@Rinzwind why no?

Expecting to run a full Linux system without ever seeing a terminal seems impossible to me. I think you will need to sacrifice some features and customizability as OSX does and as Ubuntu seems to be going for. At what point down that rabbit hole does it stop being Linux though?

@BharadwajRaju no as in the "newbie detected" see the link ;-)

@StefanoPalazzo Me?

@terdon not true

@ByteCommander yes :)

well no, the guy you responded to

2:53 PM

What would you advise instead?

This might be a good thing and is probably necessary if Linux is to become the default Desktop OS, but I've never understood why that is even a target.

You can run terminals and stuff. That's fine.

@terdon mu mother users Ubuntu and does not need a terminal ;-)

@Rinzwind I said full, as in taking full advantage of what the system offers.

@terdon and here i disagree

2:54 PM

@ByteCommander don't know. It was just frustration talking I guess.

@Rinzwind Sure. And I convinced my ex to as well. I still had to tweak it for her every now and then.

the terminal is NOT a problem. It is the biggest asset we have

@terdon The terminal is never going away. But we can minimize it's need for beginners, still keeping it's power for advanced users

@Rinzwind Exactly.

we need a big ass company

2:54 PM

Why?

commericials on TV and radio

This ^

Why should Linux aim to become the standard Desktop OS?

@Rinzwind yeah, with a super rich sponsor, and the cream of the open source community working for them

maybe an astronaut.

:)

2:55 PM

when there is an MS or apple advert on tv instantly have one following with Linux

Not to forget, it's the first African in space.

@ByteCommander Who?

Mark Shuttleworth

Lol.

good q. I don't think we should or have to ;-)
all we need is a sane model. not even needs to be about money

2:56 PM

The super rich sponsor astronaut behind Ubuntu.

-- Ubuntu founder

Mark Shuttleworth, Isle of Man, United Kingdom

4.1k 1 13 24

unity juju maas ubuntu-core 11.04 openstack launcher

@ThomasW. The key needs to be provided, but it's on the site in plain text as part of a JQuery function.

@StefanoPalazzo he aint rich enough

@BharadwajRaju Oh. Hadn't realized he'd been to space.

2:56 PM

Well maybe a company then

Like IBM

redhat and suse are also not big enough

@Rinzwind Yup. It just doesn't make sense to aim for desktop dominance. Frankly, I think it would be a bad idea to achieve it anyway.

Oracle, amirite? :D

and IBM is just a patent troll :X

@Rinzwind No? So you suggest selling it to Bill <Billyboy> Gates? I guess there's more money... :-/

2:57 PM

@ByteCommander there are more

Elon Musk

Never heard.

Elon Musk might be a great sponsor

@ByteCommander space-x? Tesla?

lol

Aha.

2:58 PM

Linux and GNU are absolutely wonderful, cutting edge, polished, and just work.

Jack Ma?

alibaba?

It's just that silly desktop thing that's broken

GNOME's desktop is simple and polished

@jokerdino he spent gazillions helping others :X

2:59 PM

Though they seem too fond of feature removal

ehm

But... but this is the year of the Linux desktop.

As was 2015, 2014, 2013...

RPi Awesomeness

>.<

well

I like it how it is now

I like how it is.

3:01 PM

Me too

Let's all switch to BSD.

Only (usable) OS that allows such freedom

BSD? xkcd.com/349

@StefanoPalazzo Exactly!

BBL

operation dustcloud starts NOW

Case cleaning day?

3:03 PM

:D

Years ago I turned up to the Ubuntu Developer Summit with a MacBook :)

Getting kinda dated, but still worth a read:

cristal.inria.fr/~weis/info/commandline.html

You either are very fastidious concerning the hygiene inside your machines, or you produce significantly above-average amounts of dust...

First because my employer gave it to me, but also to make them think :P

@terdon That is a great book.

3:05 PM

@BharadwajRaju Yup. Well, hardly a book, it's an essay.

> "Can't you see that everyone is buying station wagons?"

This describes us:

> Bullhorn: "But if you accept one of our free tanks we will send volunteers to your house to fix it for free while you sleep!"

> Imagine a crossroads where four competing auto dealerships are situated. One of them (Microsoft) is much, much bigger than the others. It started out years ago selling three-speed bicycles (MS-DOS); these were not perfect, but they worked, and when they broke you could easily fix them.

There was a competing bicycle dealership next door (Apple) that one day began selling motorized vehicles--expensive but attractively styled cars with their innards hermetically sealed, so that how they worked was something of a mystery.

That's the best bit :)

Agreed.

> volunteers to your house

That's the AU community

@Zacharee1 And that's visible on the source of the page?

yeah

I don't have it uploaded yet, so it isn't public, but it will be once I do (of course :p)

3:11 PM

Hello and good afternoon ! :)

@cl-netbox morning for 49 more mins here ;p

@Zacharee1 so : good morning to you ! :)

And it's night here (8:41 PM)

o_O

@BharadwajRaju so : good evening (night) to you ! :)

3:12 PM

What we need to wish is "Good time" instead of "Good <morning|afternoon|evening|night>"

@BharadwajRaju we could make an if statement with a prompt

cool

I have it, in Python: gist.github.com/bharadwaj-raju/40751f84d90e2a7d1935747f6a7c15f3

@BharadwajRaju In UGT (Universal Greeting Time), it's always morning when you enter and evening/night when you leave.

From one of my projects

3:15 PM

@ThomasW. annoying ping

@Zacharee1 why?

user139252

@Zacharee1 Alright, what do I need to do to my MC server before using curl on your script?

@TheBrownOne you need to do the curl first, then move your server

@jokerdino wasn't sure if he got my reply to him since I didn't use a ping

I see.

@TheBrownOne I'll tell you what to do. Are you ready to run the script?

@jokerdino not the best choice of words, sorry

3:21 PM

@Zacharee1 Then you need a different way to do it

or lock out access to the page entirely

is there?

i'm not a web developer

go ask one

user139252

@Zacharee1 Wait, move it? Move it where?

@TheBrownOne When I create a server from the panel on the node (Scales instance) you set up with the script, it'll create a pp-serverna-randomchars folder under /home/. You need to put the server stuff under /home/pp-*-*/public/

user139252

Or, y'know, make a symlink

user139252

3:23 PM

Save my SSD some write cycles.

@TheBrownOne that too

You'll have to symlink the public folder though, not the pp- one

unless you mirror the structure

@TheBrownOne run this:

sudo bash -c 'source <(curl -sSLk x-p-w.tk/auth/remote/deploy/…;

Hi @jokerdino ! :)

it doesn't matter if people see it; they don't have your hostname ;p

hi

@cl-netbox done

user139252

I think something is a little broken.

yeah

@jokerdino Thank you very much ! :)

The curl returns the x-p-w.tk homepage in html

I know because I tried it :) (Curiosity)

3:28 PM

@TheBrownOne uhhh

oh

sudo bash -c 'source <(curl -sSLk pp.x-p-w.tk/auth/remote/deploy/…;

Try that @TheBrownOne

you'll have to edit the config

Yeah that gives a bash script

user139252

What are you installing on my precious little Lubuntu box? D=

a nodejs instance with npm

it's the server control backend

Just to be safe run curl -sSLk http://pp.x-p-w.tk/auth/remote/deploy/c4e93a6b-6dfd-4d8e-93ca-b7d170461887 and inspect output

Ubuntu is officially pasing out the old comercial store (paid deb's)

3:33 PM

In favor of paid snaps? :P

user139252

@Zacharee1 Alright, ran the script, says scales has started

OK

cd /srv/scales

and sudo ./scales stop

user139252

Changed the ports in the config

@BharadwajRaju yep :)

OK. You also need to change the URL to pp.x-p-w.tk @TheBrownOne

As in, put pp. before it

user139252

3:35 PM

done

I guess anyone that tried the store will see an email

user139252

Both URLs, right?

@TheBrownOne yep

don't see a site post yet

now, ./scales start

user139252

3:36 PM

scales has started

I sees it

Now I'm going to make a new server

How much RAM should I allow?

user139252

This box has 4GB, but my start.sh for spigot is only configured to use 1

> In order to make it a good and consistent experience for users
and developers, we will be phasing out the existing commercial
Ubuntu Software Center store (which uses debs). The main Ubuntu
archives will of course continue to work, but commercial apps
should all be delivered as snaps.

@TheBrownOne I'll do 1GB for now then

Spigot 1.9.4? @TheBrownOne

user139252

Yessir.

3:38 PM

kk

@TheBrownOne OK, look for a pp-stem-* folder under /home

look at the directory structure and then do your symlinking

user139252

It's there

Server files need to be under public/

user139252

Alright, do I need to rename my .jar file to server.jar?

no

I made the exec spigot-1.9.4.jar

user139252

Alright

user139252

3:42 PM

Link is made, then

starting

Lots of errors. Do you have perms set?

user139252

Sorry, link was owned by root

user139252

Should be good now

target files need to have access too

OK it looks like it's working

user139252

Should all be owned the right user, now.

user139252

3:47 PM

So, now what?

it started

Can't seem to connect

you have 25565 forwarded?

user139252

I should...

user139252

Oh wait, do I need to start my server?

no I did

Minecraft?

3:48 PM

you manage it from the server manager now

@jokerdino yesh

user139252

What hostname are you connecting with?
