1st login when purchasing software does not remember username

What we have readily availabe in the gnome-keyring is the openid ID of the user. This could be send to the server.
Alternatively we can cache the username in the config and use that.

Hi Michael. This needs a test case at the very least, and an assertion in the description about any specific areas where regressions might be introduced.

<BUMP> We still need a test case for this bug.

I've rejected the software-center SRU from the precise-proposed queue, as bug #1006570 and bug #1042279 have been waiting for test cases and regression potential for over a month now.

Once these bugs have the necessary information for an SRU, please ping me or another an SRU team member in #ubuntu-release and we can fish it out of the rejected queue.

Hello David, or anyone else affected,

Accepted software-center into precise-proposed. The package will build now and be available at http://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/5.2.7 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested, and change the tag from verification-needed to verification-done. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed. In either case, details of your testing will help us make a better decision.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance!

Verified, e-mail now pre-filled with the test case.

The verification of this Stable Release Update has completed successfully and the package has now been released to -updates. Subsequently, the Ubuntu Stable Release Updates Team is being unsubscribed and will not receive messages about this bug report. In the event that you encounter a regression using the package from -updates please report a new bug using ubuntu-bug and tag the bug report regression-update so we can easily find any regresssions.
