Can't buy app via Ubuntu Store

 

Hi there,

I'm finally ready to buy my first app and pay real money on the Ubuntu
Store. Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to work. The payment process
hangs after I enter my "Ubuntu One password". Here's what I do:

- Go the the Ubuntu Store via the Apps scope (at the end of the screen)
- Scroll down until I see the app (or search for it, doen't make a
difference) and tap on it
- See the details of the app, and tap on the orange amount button
- The payment app loads (displays "Zahlung" in German, and the US$
amount to pay)
- Enter the password I use for https://login.ubuntu.com/ (below my
read-only email address), the payment type is PayPal (cannot be
changed; note that I don't have PayPal)
- Tap on the orange "Pay now" button
- Modal dialog is displayed ("Wird geladen ..." / "Bitte warten ..."
i.e. Please wait in German)

Then the payment app obviously hangs.
Here's what the syslog says: http://paste.ubuntu.com/15376312/

Because the dialog is modal over the Scope app there is not even a way
to kill the dialog / payment app via the phone screen. I have to
restart the phone using the hardware button.

Oh, I just figured that on https://pay.ubuntu.com/payment/ I have 4x
the very same payment pending. Outch!  :-)

Any clue what's going on and how I can fix this? How can I give money
to Canonical? :-)

Peter
