Comment 31 for bug 1581713

My mom just encountered the dialog prompting her to sign-in to Ubuntu One when she went to install Krita from the GNOME software center. She has used Gnome software for over a year to find, install, and update software. It's a convenient way for ordinary users to do so. It is jolting for non-power users to suddenly need a separate, cloud based account to manage an application. Even as a power user I do not understand the need for this. Unfortunately it does not look like there is a way to hide applications in GNOME software center that require this, so the best option for ordinary users might be to avoid Ubuntu, and have them use debian testing + Gnome instead. It just really sucks because everything else I had setup for her until this was so easy for her and less hassle for me to support than Windows.
