Title:
Can't download purchased Humble Indie Bundle with Ubuntu Software
Center
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I found a simple workflow that leads to confusion and frustration for
users purchasing software for Ubuntu:
1) purchase the humble indie bundle from http://www.humblebundle.com/
2) Pay online with one of the supported methods
3) you get an email with a link which contains a key and takes you to
the download page on humblebundle.com.
4) click on the big "Download for Ubuntu" button to get to http
://software-center.ubuntu.com with the same key in the URL parameters
5) Now click on any of the games and allow Software Center to handle
the apt:// url.
6) Software Center displays the correct product, but it offers you to
buy the game once again :-(
As a work-around, I clicked on a troubleshooting link in a second
email I received from @canonical.com, which took me to a page with the
details of the password-protected PPA. I manually added the PPA to my
system, so I could finally download the package.
