[12:15] <danger89> Hi. I would like to change my username from 'openlaptop' to 'melroy': https://launchpad.net/~openlaptop
[12:15] <danger89> I don't have any PPA's at the moment.
[12:16] <danger89> However, I get an error "melroy is already in use by another person or team."
[12:16] <danger89> which is strange since I do not see any ~melroy or melroy user in launchpad!?
[12:16] <danger89> Could somebody help me changing the launchpad ID plz?
[12:32] <cjwatson> danger89: 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.
[12:33] <cjwatson> So 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.)

[12:50] <rbasak> ?
[12:50] <rbasak> It's very quick at failing
[12:50] <rbasak> Ah, I see elsewhere it's known
[12:50] <cjwatson> Fallout from git being sad
[12:50] <cjwatson> In progress
[12:51] <rbasak> thanks
[12:51] <cjwatson> (IWBNI the webapp didn't break page rendering due to that though)
[12:59] <cjwatson> git should be better now
[13:09] <rbasak> Fixed for me. Thanks!
[13:53] <danger89> cjwatson: thanks for your help.
