Well, the desktop guide does not talk about the Debian package format either. Probably we should mention snaps as an example of when you need to sign in to Ubuntu One to be able to install or remove, but I would suggest that we simply link to a suitable page which explains what snaps is about. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645689 Title: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1645689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1645689] Re: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon
Yes you're right. Eg on 16.04 I don't have Hugo installed (Hugo is a snap) and in Ubuntu Software Hugo does have a "details" page but it doesn't give the source. Another point is that snaps and non snaps are both listed in Ubuntu Software and some packages are available in both formats. For example, Hexchat is listed three times in Ubuntu Software (16.04) (I have the snap installed but not the non snap). Two of the listings are installed (so for the snap?) and one is not installed (so for the non snap?). I also see that I'm not able to install the vlc snap (because it's not available for i386). I don't think snaps are mentioned in the 16.10 help.

Yeah, but if I understand it correctly, the source is stated only when the package is installed, which means that no explanation why the Ubuntu One thing pops up is provided to the users in advance. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645689 Title: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1645689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1645689] Re: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon
Sorry, I was wrong about not being able to distinguish snaps from non- snaps from within Ubuntu Software. If you click on the name of a package, you get to a "details" page, which (amongst other things) gives the package source. The snaps that I checked (qownnotes (confusingly listed as notes) and hexchat) have source = "Ubuntu Snappy Store". -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645689 Title: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1645689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1645689] Re: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon
@Gunnar. Yes it works now. As a test (with 16.10 running very slowly in virtualbox) I installed a snap called qownnotes. As someone says in bug #1616943, you log onto Ubuntu One and then Authenticate. I couldn't see any indication in the listing in Ubuntu Software that qownnotes is a snap. But to an average user they just want a named application, they're not bothered how it's packaged? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645689 Title: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1645689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

The issue seems to have been fixed via bug #1616943 (haven't confirmed yet).

I can add that Ubuntu Software does not accept my Ubuntu One credentials either. Bug #1637633 seems to apply. Also noticed bug #1641446.

[Bug 1645689] Re: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon
Thanks for explaining, Ron. Apparently it requires Ubuntu One to install snap packages, and it's the snap version of VLC which you install via Ubuntu Software. I don't know the reason why it asks for Ubuntu One, though. The snap can be installed from a terminal window without involving Ubuntu One: sudo snap install vlc When you used Synaptic you probably installed the conventional package, i.e. the equivalent to: sudo apt install vlc Some research needed before we can reconsider the docs.

[Bug 1645689] Re: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon
It is asking for an Ubuntu One email/pass, but it won't accept my Ubuntu One email and password. I have attached a picture. I worked around it by doing apt-get install synaptic so I can use Synaptic to install software instead of Ubuntu Software. I would like to use the state of the art, which I assume Ubuntu Software is, but I am glad to have a decent fail-back in Synaptic. FYI, I was a developer for 15 years, although mostly in MS Windows. I do understand the difference between the root password (for authenticating changes to the system) and the Ubuntu One single sign on stuff. But that point might be a good one to be very explicit about for folks who might not understand. ** Attachment added: "Showing the dialog requiring Ubuntu One." https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1645689/+attachment/4785334/+files/Screenshot%20passwordfail.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1645689 Title: Install Additional Software doesn't include info on single signon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubuntu-docs/+bug/1645689/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for your report. How did you conclude that an Ubuntu One account is required to install software from the Ubuntu archive? (AFAIK it's not.)
