Bug Description

When I try to quickly share I get an error about no ppa being available on launchpad even tho I just added one!

After having tried for some time to get it working I tried creating a ppa on launchpad with the name "ppa" and then it worked! I got my project shared to my ppa "ppa".

However I would like to be able to add the project to my ppa "MyOwnName" and not be limited to "ppa"

well, you don't have to create a ppa named "ppa" (you can use quickly configure ppa <ppa_name> for that or --ppa switch).

But the default should be more obvious in the error message and try to get one if there is none available.

Slightly modifying the error message. I checked the error message and it was already quite descriptive:

"<ppa_name> does not exist. Please create it on launchpad if you want to upload to it. <your_name> has the following ppas available: <list of ppas>"

I changed to:
"<ppa_name> does not exist. Please create it on launchpad if you want to push a package to it. <your_name> has the following ppas available: <list of ppas>. You can temporary choose one of them with --ppa switch or definitely by executing quickly configure ppa <ppa_name>."
