Hello! I have a problem trying to add / change the email address in my account. I've headed up to #launchpad on IRC for help, and had the following discussion: 'ноября' stands for 'on November'.

Go to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad [18:02] barry, hello [18:03] arseny92: hi [18:04] somehow I have a problem of adding/changing my email on launchpad... added an email, then followed the verify link, it showed a nearly blank bage with 'continue/cancel' buttons. Continued, it went back to the email setup page. Refreshed it, but the new email didnt showed up. Trying to re-add, but now it goes to an 'oops' error page... [18:04] arseny92: is the oops a timeout page? [18:05] no, error page [18:05] Oops! [18:05] Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad. [18:05] We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience. [18:05] (Error ID: OOPS-1430N1830) [18:06] https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1430N1830 [18:07] arseny92: that oops hasn't shown up yet, but it should shortly. i'll be able to look more closely and try to see what's going wrong [18:07] arseny92: i'm on a phone call right now, so my responses may be spotty for a little bit [18:07] ok [19:02] arseny92: the oops finally showed up. it's very interesting and it should not have happened. it could be bad data or it could be a bug in launchpad. can you tell me what email address you were trying to add? [19:05] arseny92@***********.com [19:06] arseny92: okay thanks. i'm about to disappear for lunch but i will ping a losa when i return to run a query on the db [19:09] plus need to remove the old email, setting the new as default. I closed arseny92@*****.com so it isnt exists now [19:10] arseny92: okay, we'll get this squared away for you, hopefully some time today [19:15] any other info needed to prove that this account is me? besides as in most sites before making queries on user table, the user needs to prove that this row is his... [20:03] arseny92: i'm going to start not by approving this, but by trying to figure out and fix why you can't do it yourself [21:13] arseny92: the database seems fine. i honestly don't know how you could have gotten that oops with the email addresses you gave me. if you're still around, would you like to walk through the steps with me, one by one? [21:18] i'm still here, you can see in the /whois on which channels i'm currently located... [21:19] i'm listening [21:19] barry :) [21:21] [QUIT] Disconnected from irc://irc.freenode.net/ (irc://irc.freenode.net/).

Go to https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad [21:24] * arseny92 had a bad ping here few minutes ago, so I reconnected, if there were any messages, repost [21:24] so let's start from the beginning. you're trying to associate another email address with your account, right? what page do you go to first? [21:24] arseny92: i'm going to step through it with you, using my own account [21:24] arseny92: ^^ [21:25] profile homepage [21:25] /~username [21:26] https://launchpad.net/~arseny92 [21:27] arseny92: k, one sec [21:28] arseny92: okay. what do you do next? [21:28] then i follow to https://launchpad.net/~arseny92/+editemails via the button edit the email [21:29] right. then...? [21:29] Add a new address: email [21:31] clicked Add, and (Error ID: OOPS-1430D2409) [21:31] https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1430D2409 [21:33] ... [21:33] arseny92: okay. give me a sec to create a test address and try the same thing myself [21:35] hi, [21:35] arseny92: and the address you entered was arseny92@***********.com ? [21:35] I get tons of Internal server errors on bazaar.launchpad.net, http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~zeitgeist/zeitgeist/trunk/files is one example [21:38] arseny92: i do not get the oops when i try it with my own address [21:39] arseny92: please verify the email address and i will starting pinging some losas [21:39] thekorn: i'm seeing that too. thanks for the report, i'll ping a losa about that [21:40] thank you barry [21:43] -->| observantdragon (i=c4c0632b@gateway/web/freenode/x-iefkwekmyqrqxucz) has joined #launchpad [21:44] maybe this address already has some sort of 'validated' status in the db, as when I added it on the first time, it added fine, though a nearly blank message page with continue and cancel buttons at the top appeared, I clicked continue, got the email, followed the link, but the editemail page didnt updated with the new address and furthermore, it appeared below 'these addresses may be yours',... [21:44] ...but after followed the validation link, this section got deleted from the page, but it didn't added to 'these addresses are confirmed as being yours'... [21:44] I can't do my first login, I have already used confirm link, when I login it says not yet vaidated, and if I reuse link it ays alreay activated [21:45] What should I do? [21:47] so yes, maybe some sort of incomplete validation query, as I didnt received your email [21:47] Sorry for bothering but when may I expect to gain access to the translation on the project as it is written in the https://answers.launchpad.net/launchpad/+question/92075 - I was told on the weekend that this problem will be solved this week. [21:47] I can't do my first login, I have already used confirm link, when I login it says not yet vaidated, and if I reuse link it ays alreay activated [21:47] Can anyone help me? [21:48] I can't do my first login, I have already used confirm link, when I login it says not yet vaidated, and if I reuse link it ays alreay activated [21:51] arseny92: very strange. here's what i would suggest at this point: file a question here https://answers.edge.launchpad.net/launchpad [21:51] arseny92: include all the relevant information you can, the steps you took, what happened in launchpad, the email address you tried to validate [21:51] arseny92: this way we have a written record in launchpad for the problem. i will make sure the losas see it and we can turn that into a bug report if/when we find something wrong [21:52] arseny92: it's the best way to track the issue for you [21:52] should i try to reuse the first validate link and see what it says? [21:53] arseny92: you could try, but if you're in a weird semi-validated state, the link is probably bad by now. i'm sorry you're having these problems with launchpad [21:53] How can I bug report if I can't log in? [21:53] I can't do my first login, I have already used confirm link, when I login it says not yet vaidated, and if I reuse link it ays alreay activated [21:53] my user on launchpad is observantdragon [21:54] observantdragon: this smells similar to the problem arseny92 is having. e.g. validation is perhaps broken? [21:55] observantdragon: that page looks very not right. i am going to start escalating these issues [21:55] well it just says its not validated but when I refollow link in mail it says already validated [21:55] The email address 'observantdragon@*****.com', which you're trying to use to login has not yet been validated to use in Launchpad. We sent an email to that address with instructions on how to confirm that it belongs to you. As soon as we have that confirmation you'll be able to log into Launchpad. [21:56] moradan: i'll try to get back with you asap [21:57] except that I try to add/change the email, but observantdragon tries to register [21:57] barry: thanks a lot [21:57] arseny92, observantdragon yep, but i think both paths lead through email validation [21:58] If you delete my account and I recreate do you think it will work? [21:58] observantdragon: i don't have the power to do that, but i am trying to get the losas attention [21:59] Ok, in about how many days should I come back and try again? [21:59] observantdragon: hopefully i will have some news in a little while [22:00] News [22:00] I can succesfully logon on help.launchpa.net [22:01] yet once I visit main site launchpad.net I'm logged out! [22:02] Also my webrowser title is observantdragon does not use launchpad when I visit https://launchpad.net/~observantdragon [22:04] what's with the scary syntax highlighting at: http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eeucalyptus-maintainers/eucalyptus/1.6/annotate/head%3A/tools/euca_conf.in [22:04] observantdragon: i see that too. [22:05] Oops! Sorry, something just went wrong in Launchpad. We’ve recorded what happened, and we’ll fix it as soon as possible. Apologies for the inconvenience. (Error ID: OOPS-1430C2589) [22:05] https://lp-oops.canonical.com/oops.py/?oopsid=1430C2589 [22:06] observantdragon: it will take a few minutes for that oops to be visible to me. hang tight. [22:08] barry> arseny92: include all the relevant information you can, the steps you took, what happened in launchpad, the email address you tried to validate - can I include this irc discussion, removing irrelevant info? [22:08] arseny92: yep! [22:12] yes [22:12] you ay [22:13] Step 1. Registered. Then validated successfully. then it just says its not validated but when I refollow link in mail it says already validated The email address 'observantdragon@*****.com', which you're trying to use to login has not yet been validated to use in Launchpad. We sent an email to that address with instructions on how to confirm that it belongs to you. As soon as we have that confirmation you'll be able t [22:14] that comes when I try to login [22:16] arseny92: i have been able to reproduce your problem with a test account of mine. we're looking into it [22:17] observantdragon: nod. i suspect these problems are related. i will try to reproduce yours with another test address of mine. we're looking into this [22:17] Take all the time you need
