[18:56] <thelinuxer> ashams: EgyParadox MFawzy seiflotfy HazRPG d4de hey guys can u please help ali_ ?
[18:56] <EgyParadox> thelinuxer

[18:57] <EgyParadox> ali_
[18:57] <ashams> hi thelinuxer o/
[18:57] <thelinuxer> hi ashams
[18:57] <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.'
[18:58] <thelinuxer> ashams: can u please push for the council meeting ? and try to make on IRC please ?
[18:58] <ali_> Anyone can help
[18:58] <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.'
[18:58] <ashams> thelinuxer, it's too hard to make it on IRC, you know, ppl totally unfamiliar :(
[18:59] <ashams> ali_, I'm searching on it
[18:59] <ashams> thelinuxer, I talked to anas on fb and he probably wont come
[18:59] <ali_> ashams, me to and try mutli solutions
[18:59] <ashams> thelinuxer,  I'll invite the whole team on the general ml
[19:00] <thelinuxer> ashams: seriously IRC is a lot better
[19:00] <thelinuxer> to allow people to follow what the council is doing
[19:00] <thelinuxer> specially that we had a lot of down time ...
[19:00] <thelinuxer> there were complains about the 4 month period
[19:00] <thelinuxer> and considering it short, now it's evern shorter ...
[19:00] <ashams> ok, I'll try with them, hope they accept
[19:00] <thelinuxer> ashams: i don't think you should invite anyone outside the council
[19:01] <thelinuxer> not even me
[19:01] <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] <ashams> thelinuxer, Y? this doesn't make sense
[19:01] <thelinuxer> we will tell people about the meeting
[19:01] <thelinuxer> and they can come and follow ..
[19:02] <ashams> ali_, what are you trying to do when it gives you this?
[19:02] <ashams> thelinuxer, ok, dude
[19:02] <thelinuxer> participation is not a necessity
[19:02] <ashams> one sec
[19:04] <ali_> ashams, http://askubuntu.com/questions/34179/update-manager-can-not-open-due-to-missing-var-lib-dpkg-status
[19:04] <ashams> ali_, hahaha, I'm on it :-)
[19:05] <ashams> ali_, have you tried any of these commands?
[19:06] <ashams> thelinuxer, mgamal wont agree, he will want it in person, methink
[19:06] <thelinuxer> ashams: we can convince mgamal
[19:07] <thelinuxer> just it would easier for everyone to follow your meeting on IRC
[19:07] <thelinuxer> also u'll have the log
[19:07] <ali_> ashams,  Prolem solved
[19:07] <ashams> ali_, coool
[19:07] <thelinuxer> reporting will be easier isA
[19:07] <ali_> thelinuxer, about mouse wireless problem
[19:07] <ashams> thelinuxer, but wazery and jonathan have no connection already
[19:08] <thelinuxer> ali_: the problem is that I am outside cairo and the internet connection is horrible :D
[19:08] <ali_> thelinuxer, mouse brand rock tech
[19:08] <thelinuxer> ashams: can u please help him again with the mouse problem ?
[19:08] <ali_> thelinuxer, OK
[19:08] <ashams> sure, I just don't know enough about it
[19:08] <ashams> ali_, what happens plz
[19:08] <ashams> ?
[19:08] <thelinuxer> it's a wireless mouse with that small usb part
[19:09] <thelinuxer> it should be detected as normal usb mouse
[19:09] <thelinuxer> but it causes the system to hang, am i right ali_ ?
[19:09] <ashams> ali_, "small usb port"?
[19:10] <thelinuxer> part*
[19:10] <ashams> part? ezay ya3ni, ya ali_ :-)
[19:10] <ashams> hahaha
[19:11] <thelinuxer> bos it's a bluetooth mouse
[19:11] <thelinuxer> bas it's not directly connected to the pc with bluetooth
[19:11] <thelinuxer> there is a small bluetooth usb stick keda
[19:11] <ashams> aaaaaaaaaaaaah
[19:11] <thelinuxer> u insert it into the usb port and the mouse is detected by the system as normal usb mouse
[19:11] <thelinuxer> ashams: back to the meeting issue
[19:12] <ashams> so the problem is about detecting that external bluetooth device
[19:12] <thelinuxer> if there is an issue related specifically to this meeting then I guess it's ok
[19:12] <thelinuxer> ashams: but we should try our best to make it on IRC
[19:13] <ashams> thelinuxer, what issue ya man, you are too ambiguous today...
[19:14] <thelinuxer> 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] <ashams> yes
[19:15] <ashams> thelinuxer, what you think should be added to the agenda: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/EgyptTeam/Meetings/Agendas/2012-02-0X
[19:16] <thelinuxer> r we done with ali_'s problem :D ?
[19:16] <thelinuxer> we should have a separate page for council meetins, don't u think ?
[19:17] <ashams> thelinuxer, no way
[19:17] <thelinuxer> y >
[19:17] <ashams> council should stay inside the loop, not separate
[19:17] <thelinuxer> ?
[19:18] <ashams> even I thought why it uses separate ml after all
[19:18] <ashams> ali_, 's problem; searching
[19:18] <thelinuxer> what do u mean by inside the loop ?
[19:18] <thelinuxer> what if someone is interested in council meetings only, they should find it easily not look through a big list
[19:19] <thelinuxer> bos the same trick we use for the meetings listing we can do it in the same page
[19:19] <thelinuxer> different search path ...
[19:20] <ashams>  if someone is interested in council meetings only, let him/her go find another team
[19:20] <ashams> ubuntu-eg is not about the council
[19:20] <ashams> council is just a spit on team's face, and have nothing with the real activity
[19:20] <ashams> if some1 wants to be active, let him/her be active
[19:21] <ashams> what him/her would do if s/he can't vote in
[19:21] <ashams> council meetings should be announced on the general ml and minutes will follow
[19:22] <ashams> if s/he want to follow that ml, s/he will find it, of course
[19:23] <ashams> council is not a main part, just a side one :-)
[19:24] <ashams> ali_, have you tried to install the bluetooth device before connecting the mouse to it?
[19:32] <ali_> ashams, How
[19:37] <ashams> ali_, plz try to open terminal and run: sudo apt-get install bluez-utils
[19:37] <ashams> then run: bluetoothd

[19:45] <seiflotfy> its kinda sad that the ppl active on the channel are a handful
[19:45] <ashams> man, I'm trying hard to do so, but in no avail
[19:46] <ashams> ppl think it's geeky
[19:46] <seiflotfy> its part of the opensource culture
[19:46] <seiflotfy> how else can some1 discuss open topics

[19:49] <seiflotfy> "sudo mkdir /var/lib/dpkg/updates" then  "sudo chmod 755 /var/lib/dpkg/updates"
[19:49] <seiflotfy> ashams: if a pkg manager would be running he would get a locked error
[19:50] <seiflotfy> i think ali somehow managed to mess up his system by deleting directories :/
[19:51] <ashams> yeah, I thought I read some lock error before :(

[19:58] <ali_> مش فاهم

[19:59] <ali_> seiflotfy, Me too
