** Description changed: + software-center 5.2.4, Ubuntu 12.04 + software-center 13.10, Ubuntu 14.04 + + 1. Switch to a guest session. + 2. Launch USC. + 3. Choose "Turn On Recommendations". + This really may be two bugs, but the latter one is a lot more irritating: 1. For some reason Software Center keeps asking me to create a Software Center account on startup and also whenever I try to turn on recommendations. This should be OK, except that I created an account months ago. What happened to it? - 2. Well whatever, then I shall register again. Unless there's a CAPTCHA - challange which I can't solve. 0/40 success rate (est.). Guys, please. - I'm a human being. 0/40 means that this CAPTCHA is nearly unsolvable. If - I'm wrong, then go on, prove me wrong. + 2. Well whatever, then I shall register again. Unless there's a CAPTCHA challange which I can't solve. 0/40 success rate (est.). Guys, please.
