danger89Hi. I would like to change my username from 'openlaptop' to 'melroy': https://launchpad.net/~openlaptop12:15
danger89I don't have any PPA's at the moment.12:15
danger89However, I get an error "melroy is already in use by another person or team."12:16
danger89which is strange since I do not see any ~melroy or melroy user in launchpad!?12:16
danger89Could somebody help me changing the launchpad ID plz?12:16
cjwatsondanger89: Launchpad's username namespace is shared with various other systems that use login.ubuntu.com (= login.launchpad.net), such as the snap store.  Not all usernames created in those other systems are necessarily visible to you, but they still exist.12:32
cjwatsonSo I'm afraid that one is taken in a way I can't trivially rename.  (If it were a deactivated or suspended user or some such then I could rename it out of the way, but it isn't.)12:33
