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 t
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 exampl
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.

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
Right, I suppose that's the philosophy. It's the same with VLC.

@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 a
The issue seems to have been fixed via bug #1616943 (haven't confirmed
yet). If it works, we should have the info needed to add something to
the page.

I can add that Ubuntu Software does not accept my Ubuntu One credentials
either. Bug #1637633 seems to apply.
Also noticed bug #1641446. I agree that requiring Ubuntu One credentials
appears to be unwarranted when installing free and gratis software -
especially since it doesn't work... :(

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:
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
@Gunnar. Did Ron misunderstand the Authenticate dialog box and thought
it wanted an Ubuntu One password, so then he created an Ubuntu One
account, ...?

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.)
If you have a problem with your Ubuntu One account, you may want to
submit an issue to r...@ubuntu.com.
