Why do I need a ubuntu one account to download apps topic

While the usual tradition of linux distributions is to have repositories accessible to anyone, why do I need to have a ubuntu one account in order to download apps on the ubuntu store? While ubuntu has until now been very strong into providing open alternatives to mainline products, e.g. from microsoft or apple, this requirement is a serious threat to the open philosophy. I can't see any technical difficulty into not having accounts on the server side, and I am very worried about this.

Account Merging (Not due to SSO) topic

Hello,

I forgot why I did this, but at some point I created another account. I want to merge the accounts, basically keeping all the info of this account but changing the email. So, the account with the new email I would like to use needs to be deleted (I think). I am moving all my online accounts from google accounts to different email providers.

I don't know what the admins would want in terms of proving I am in control of the other account as well. I also have not posted the email for this account here, where would the admins like it?

[ubuntu] Autologin to Wrong User Account topic

This isn't exactly a security issue for me, but could be if I shared my computer, and it isn't really a DE issue, so I didn't really know where to put this.

Whenever I reboot I am automatically logged into the secondary account on the computer. This seems to be Ubuntu's choice as I did not set that account as default.

I have the user accounts set up for different DEs. I only use the secondary account when updates break things and I need Unity to fix them. Unfortunately, this happens more frequently than I would like. I have gnome-session-fallback on my primary account. I need administrator priviledges on both accounts and prefer to have autologin on both accounts. This doesn't seem to create a conflict as one account has obvioulsy been selected as the default account, but how can I make it my primary account instead? It was booting into my primary account before. I don't know why this changed or how to get it back to the previous behavior.

I have looked for hours and found advice on changing usernames, user account images, changing session DE for the same user, etc. none of what I've found has really addressed my question and I'm not finding anything in the user accounts or groups settings that make a difference. Any help greatly appreciated.

Please deactivate/delete my account topic

Hi

Could you please deactivate (or delete, if possible) this account?

I accidentally created it this morning as a duplicate account.

If it can't be deleted, could you also rename it to a random string as per http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2231107 ?

Thanks!

SSO account change topic

Hi,

I'd like this Ubuntu Forums account to be associated with a different Ubuntu One account.

I logged in with the correct Ubuntu One account earlier today, but that resulted in a new Ubuntu Forums account (http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=1968257) which has now been deactivated (http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2264062).

So could you please associate this Ubuntu Forums account with that other Ubuntu One account?

Thanks!

SSO account change needed topic

I'm one of the lucky people who logged in to SSO with what I thought was the email associated with my Ubuntu Forums account, but apparently I chose poorly. My original profile is http://ubuntuforums.org/member.php?u=8301
