thelinuxerspecially that we had a lot of down time ...19:00
thelinuxerthere were complains about the 4 month period19:00
thelinuxerand considering it short, now it's evern shorter ...19:00
ashamsok, I'll try with them, hope they accept19:00
thelinuxerashams: i don't think you should invite anyone outside the council19:00
thelinuxernot even me19:01
ali_'E:Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory), E:The package lists or status file could not be parsed or opened.'19:01

ali_thelinuxer, about mouse wireless problem19:07
ashamsthelinuxer, but wazery and jonathan have no connection already19:07
thelinuxerali_: the problem is that I am outside cairo and the internet connection is horrible :D19:08
ali_thelinuxer, mouse brand rock tech19:08
thelinuxerashams: can u please help him again with the mouse problem ?19:08
ali_thelinuxer, OK19:08
ashamssure, I just don't know enough about it19:08
ashamsali_, what happens plz19:08
ashams?19:08
thelinuxerit's a wireless mouse with that small usb part19:08
thelinuxerit should be detected as normal usb mouse19:09
thelinuxerbut it causes the system to hang, am i right ali_ ?19:09
ashamsali_, "small usb port"?19:09
thelinuxerpart*19:10
ashamspart? ezay ya3ni, ya ali_ :-)19:10
ashamshahaha19:10
thelinuxerbos it's a bluetooth mouse19:11
thelinuxerbas it's not directly connected to the pc with bluetooth19:11
thelinuxerthere is a small bluetooth usb stick keda19:11
ashamsaaaaaaaaaaaaah19:11
thelinuxeru insert it into the usb port and the mouse is detected by the system as normal usb mouse19:11
thelinuxerashams: back to the meeting issue19:11
ashamsso the problem is about detecting that external bluetooth device19:12
thelinuxerif there is an issue related specifically to this meeting then I guess it's ok19:12
thelinuxerashams: but we should try our best to make it on IRC19:12
ashamsthelinuxer, what issue ya man, you are too ambiguous today...19:13
thelinuxeri mean is there is an issue that would need this meeting to be offline then go ahead and do it offline, got it ?19:14
ashamsyes19:14
ashamsthelinuxer, what you think should be added to the agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/Meetings/Agendas/2012-02-0X19:15
thelinuxerr we done with ali_'s problem :D ?19:16
thelinuxerwe should have a separate page for council meetins, don't u think ?19:16
ashamsthelinuxer, no way19:17
thelinuxery >19:17
ashamscouncil should stay inside the loop, not separate19:17
thelinuxer?19:17
ashamseven I thought why it uses separate ml after all19:18
ashamsali_, 's problem; searching19:18
thelinuxerwhat do u mean by inside the loop ?19:18
thelinuxerwhat if someone is interested in council meetings only, they should find it easily not look through a big list19:18
thelinuxerbos the same trick we use for the meetings listing we can do it in the same page19:19
thelinuxerdifferent search path ...19:19
ashams if someone is interested in council meetings only, let him/her go find another team19:20
ashamsubuntu-eg is not about the council19:20
=== Saad|away is now known as Saad_
ashamscouncil is just a spit on team's face, and have nothing with the real activity19:20
ashamsif some1 wants to be active, let him/her be active19:20
ashamswhat him/her would do if s/he can't vote in19:21
ashamscouncil meetings should be announced on the general ml and minutes will follow19:21
ashamsif s/he want to follow that ml, s/he will find it, of course19:22
ashamscouncil is not a main part, just a side one :-)19:23
ashamsali_, have you tried to install the bluetooth device before connecting the mouse to it?19:24
