Public bug reported: I found a simple workflow that leads to confusion and frustration for users purchasing software for Ubuntu:
1) purchase the humble indie bundle from http://www.humblebundle.com/ 2) Pay online with one of the supported methods 3) you get an email with a link which contains a key and takes you to the download page on humblebundle.com. 4) click on the big "Download for Ubuntu" button to get to http ://software-center.ubuntu.com with the same key in the URL parameters 5) Now click on any of the games and allow Software Center to handle the apt:// url. 6) Software Center displays the correct product, but it offers you to buy the game once again :-( As a work-around, I clicked on a troubleshooting link in a second email I received from @canonical.com, which took me to a page with the details of the password-protected PPA. I manually added the PPA to my system, so I could finally download the package. ** Affects: software-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1008309 Title: Can't download purchased Humble Indie Bundle with Ubuntu Software Center To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1008309/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
