[17:55] <himcesjf> Whom to contact for launchpad account issues?
[18:34] <caraka> There is a certain kind of bug you can file for account requests not handled by the faq. I just woke up sorry - it's inhere somewhere. https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+faqs
[18:35] <himcesjf> Hey caraka. Morning! I have a username issue
[18:35] <himcesjf> I accidentally created a new launchpad account assuming that I don't have one but I had one.
[18:35] <himcesjf> And chose username of my choice
[18:36] <himcesjf> Later I realised that I have an account so I deleted my new account and with that I lost my username
[18:36] <himcesjf> I am unable to change username on my new account even when the account related to the desired username is permanently deleted
[18:37] <caraka> I don;t know if it's covered in the faq, but you can just delete the new account and carry on, or you can merge them. I only know this because I watched cjwatson talk someone through it about 3 days ago. :D
[18:37] <himcesjf> er, I deleted my new account and I am unable to change username on my old account*
[18:37] <himcesjf> I don't see it in FAQs

[18:44] <dobey> i don't think you can delete accounts on launchpad. it sounds like what you did was cancel the account on login.ubuntu.com, but the launchpad "person" still exists
[18:45] <caraka> ^ Here's someone with far more brains than I.
[18:46] <dobey> you can deactivate an account on launchpad, and i think that usually results in the username for it being changed to foo-deactivated from foo
[18:46] <dobey> but from what you said, it sounds like you probably deleted/canceled the ubuntu login account side, and not on launchpad
[19:15] <cjwatson> himcesjf: I'm not working today, but email me details of the affected accounts (cjwatson@canonical.com) and I'll get it sorted out for you.  I'll expect to be able to email you on the email address associated with the account to verify that you own it.
[19:18] <cjwatson> himcesjf: I expect dobey's right and that the Launchpad part of the account still exists, though.  In that case you can follow the FAQ entry above to merge them.
[19:20] <cjwatson> himcesjf: So that's https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/Merging; please try that before resorting to emailing me.
