Launchpad itself

I only want to browse code. I dont' want to change anything

Asked by OldGrantonian

I use Vista Home Premium. I only want to browse code from "mnemosyne-proj"

I followed all the instructions regarding Putty, Pageant, etc on your page:

https://help.launchpad.net/YourAccount/CreatingAnSSHKeyPair

I logged in to Bazaar. I was recognized. I downloaded code, but then got an "Access denied error" (As far as I know, I got all the code.)

Someone on the Bazaar forums suggested that this is a Windows error - not Bazaar or Launchpad.

As a non-techy, I'm wondering if I should simply forget all the SSH keys stuff, because I don't want to change any code.

Will I avoid all the login hassle if I only have a "read only account?

If yes, can I change my account to a "read only" account?

Hi,

If you just want to browse the code you can do that on-line by going to
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~peter-bienstman/mnemosyne-proj/trunk/files

Also, if you just want to get a copy of a project's source code, you can do so by using:

bzr get lp:project

So

bzr get mnemosyne-proj

should get all of the code. You don't even need a Launchpad account or SSH keys to do that. You only need an account and SSH keys if you want to *write* to Launchpad or access private data.

Can you help with this problem?
