[05:12] <ki7mt> Hello all, quick question, I've PPA that seems stuck in - Pending Publication, but only for amd64, i386 seems ok. Both built successfully, any Ideas how to resolve this?
[05:20] <ki7mt> Belay my last, whatever it was, seems to have fixed itself, maybe the sever was just busy.
[07:41] <prest1ge> is someone here who wants to teach me how launchpad works?
[07:45] <wgrant> prest1ge: Launchpad does a great many different things. What in particular do you want to know about?
[07:45] <prest1ge> ok well. first i want to know why my account is called -deactivatedaccount?
[07:46] <prest1ge> wgrant: i registered a long time ago maybe that why? so how to activate them?
[07:49] <wgrant> prest1ge: You at some point in the past asked Launchpad to deactivate your account, but if you're logged in now you've clearly reactivated it. When an account is deactivated, Launchpad appends '-deactivatedaccount' to its name to free up the username for other users. When you reactive your account, you can rename it at https://launchpad.net/~/+edit to remove that suffix.
[07:50] <prest1ge> wgrant: i already tried to rename them there but if i want to save it, i get an error
[07:50] <wgrant> An error?
[07:51] <prest1ge> it tells me 'changing name will change public openid bla bla
[07:51] <wgrant> And then tells you to click save again to confirm.
[07:52] <prest1ge> yes...should i do?
[07:52] <prest1ge> so ignore the error?
[07:52] <wgrant> Ignore the warning, since you presumably don't use https://launchpad.net/~whatever-deactivatedaccount to log into any third-party websites.
[07:53] <prest1ge> wgrant: ok, so it looks like normal now. and now the big question. how to upload or create a new projekt?
[07:53] <prest1ge> i want to upload my applications
[07:54] <wgrant> prest1ge: What sort of application, and upload to where? Do you want to use Launchpad to develop your applications?
[07:55] <prest1ge> wgrant: mmm... i think so? :P i wanted to upload and share my c++ / Qt applications and create a ppa
[07:57] <wgrant> prest1ge: https://help.launchpad.net/Projects/Registering describes how to create a project, https://help.launchpad.net/Packaging/PPA goes through PPAs.
[07:57] <wgrant> PPAs are associated directly with your account, rather than with a project, but you usually want a project first so you can share your source code, track bugs, etc.
[08:01] <prest1ge> wgrant: ok, well. and what to do if a projekt-name is already registered?
[08:01] <wgrant> prest1ge: Which project?
[08:02] <prest1ge> wgrant: analogclock
[08:02] <wgrant> prest1ge: https://launchpad.net/analogclock is not your project, but has the same name as yours?
[08:02] <wgrant> If so, you'll need to pick another name for the Launchpad project, and I'd suggest renaming the project entirely to avoid confusion.
[10:01] <xnox> an in-line review comment got eaten on my merge proposal.
[10:01] <xnox> (there is no longer any traces of it)
[10:02] <xnox> where/how should I report it?
[17:12] <mark06> #ubuntu-translators told me to ask for help here
