[18:58] Anyone can help [18:58] '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.' [18:58] thelinuxer, it's too hard to make it on IRC, you know, ppl totally unfamiliar :( [18:59] ali_, I'm searching on it [18:59] thelinuxer, I talked to anas on fb and he probably wont come [18:59] ashams, me to and try mutli solutions [18:59] thelinuxer, I'll invite the whole team on the general ml [19:00] ashams: seriously IRC is a lot better [19:00] to allow people to follow what the council is doing [19:00] specially that we had a lot of down time ... [19:00] there were complains about the 4 month period [19:00] and considering it short, now it's evern shorter ... [19:00] ok, I'll try with them, hope they accept [19:00] ashams: i don't think you should invite anyone outside the council [19:01] not even me [19:01] '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] thelinuxer, Y? this doesn't make sense [19:01] we will tell people about the meeting [19:01] and they can come and follow .. [19:02] ali_, what are you trying to do when it gives you this? [19:02] thelinuxer, ok, dude [19:02] participation is not a necessity [19:02] one sec [19:04] ashams, http://askubuntu.com/questions/34179/update-manager-can-not-open-due-to-missing-var-lib-dpkg-status [19:04] ali_, hahaha, I'm on it :-) [19:05] ali_, have you tried any of these commands? [19:06] thelinuxer, mgamal wont agree, he will want it in person, methink [19:06] ashams: we can convince mgamal [19:07] just it would easier for everyone to follow your meeting on IRC [19:07] also u'll have the log [19:07] ashams, Prolem solved [19:07] ali_, coool [19:07] reporting will be easier isA [19:07] thelinuxer, about mouse wireless problem [19:07] thelinuxer, but wazery and jonathan have no connection already [19:08] ali_: the problem is that I am outside cairo and the internet connection is horrible :D [19:08] thelinuxer, mouse brand rock tech [19:08] ashams: can u please help him again with the mouse problem ? [19:08] thelinuxer, OK [19:08] sure, I just don't know enough about it [19:08] ali_, what happens plz [19:08] ? [19:08] it's a wireless mouse with that small usb part [19:09] it should be detected as normal usb mouse [19:09] but it causes the system to hang, am i right ali_ ? [19:09] ali_, "small usb port"? [19:10] part* [19:10] part? ezay ya3ni, ya ali_ :-) [19:10] hahaha [19:11] bos it's a bluetooth mouse [19:11] bas it's not directly connected to the pc with bluetooth [19:11] there is a small bluetooth usb stick keda [19:11] aaaaaaaaaaaaah [19:11] u insert it into the usb port and the mouse is detected by the system as normal usb mouse [19:11] ashams: back to the meeting issue [19:12] so the problem is about detecting that external bluetooth device [19:12] if there is an issue related specifically to this meeting then I guess it's ok [19:12] ashams: but we should try our best to make it on IRC [19:13] thelinuxer, what issue ya man, you are too ambiguous today... [19:14] i 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] yes [19:15] thelinuxer, what you think should be added to the agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/Meetings/Agendas/2012-02-0X [19:16] r we done with ali_'s problem :D ? [19:16] we should have a separate page for council meetins, don't u think ? [19:17] thelinuxer, no way [19:17] y > [19:17] council should stay inside the loop, not separate [19:17] ? [19:18] even I thought why it uses separate ml after all [19:18] ali_, 's problem; searching [19:18] what do u mean by inside the loop ? [19:18] what if someone is interested in council meetings only, they should find it easily not look through a big list [19:19] bos the same trick we use for the meetings listing we can do it in the same page [19:19] different search path ... [19:20] if someone is interested in council meetings only, let him/her go find another team [19:20] ubuntu-eg is not about the council === Saad|away is now known as Saad_ [19:20] council is just a spit on team's face, and have nothing with the real activity [19:20] if some1 wants to be active, let him/her be active [19:21] what him/her would do if s/he can't vote in [19:21] council meetings should be announced on the general ml and minutes will follow [19:22] if s/he want to follow that ml, s/he will find it, of course [19:23] council is not a main part, just a side one :-) [19:24] ali_, have you tried to install the bluetooth device before connecting the mouse to it?
