Failing to install IntelliJ from the Software Center, I realized my login is wrong in the /etc/apt/auth.conf
entry that the install process generates.
In this file, I see my original OpenID, that's the one which got automatically generated when signing up on Launchpad. It contains my last name so I changed it.
I purged conf
and binaries for Ubuntu One, reinstalled, deleted all listed "Devices" from app, all "Applications" from Launchpad. Deleted ~/.cache/software-center/
, reboot, but still:
- When installing IntelliJ, the
auth.conf
file receives my original OpenID, not the modified one - Problem is that the commercial subscription, for IntelliJ private PPA, uses my modified OpenID, so authentication attempt fails. I can't remove nor modify this subscription, even by changing back my OpenID into Launchpad.
Any idea to solve this?
