I am following this guide to configure bazaar, but I have encountered a small problem, it says to type in the command:

bzr launchpad-login subgenius

And to replace launchpad-login with your LaunchPad ID, but I have done that:

bzr ***** subgenius

And I still get the same error message:

bzr: ERROR: unknown command "*****"

So should I just forget about this? Or is it something which I should do, and if so, then how and what am I doing wrong? (I have replaced information that I do not wish to provide with *****.)


OS Information:

Description:    Ubuntu 14.10

Package Information:

Could you past the full command that is returning the specified output? I don't that it is sensitive information :) – Lucio Mar 24 '15 at 22:36

To tell Bazaar who you are, simply run:

$ bzr whoami "Bob Dobbs <subgenius@example.com>"  
$ bzr launchpad-login subgenius

whoami will tell Bazaar which name and email address it should use for your
commit messages. With launchpad-login you set your Launchpad ID. This way
code that you publish in Launchpad will be associated with you.

Note: If you can not remember the ID, go to https://launchpad.net/~ and see
where it redirects you. The part after the “~” in the URL is your Launchpad ID.)

(passage quoted from the guide you mentioned)

If you read through that passage again, you see that not launchpad-login has to be replaced, but subgenius, which is obviously the name of the person who wrote that guide.

The command is bzr launchpad-login YOURLAUNCHPADNAME.
