Upgrade to Ubuntu 12.10 (Quantal Quetzal) and you’ll run into a surprise – Ubuntu now shows you advertisements for Amazon products when you search in your dash. There’s also an Amazon shortcut pinned to Unity’s launcher.

升级到Ubuntu 12.10(定量Quetzal)后，您会遇到一个惊喜–现在，当您在破折号中搜索时，Ubuntu会为您显示有关Amazon产品的广告。 Unity的启动器上还固定有一个Amazon快捷方式。

There are several ways to disable these ads, and they aren’t immediately obvious. However, you can easily disable the Amazon search results if you don’t want to see them, or if you’re concerned about the privacy implications.

有几种方法可以禁用这些广告，但它们并不立即显而易见。 但是，如果您不想看到亚马逊搜索结果，或者担心隐私会影响您，可以轻松禁用它们。

亚马逊广告如何运作 (How The Amazon Ads Work)

When you perform any search in Unity’s dash, your search terms will be sent to Canonical. Canonical forwards these search terms to third parties, such as Amazon, on your behalf. This means that Amazon can’t tie your searches to you personally.

当您在Unity破折号中执行任何搜索时，您的搜索字词将发送到Canonical。 Canonical代表您将这些搜索词转发给第三方(例如Amazon)。 这意味着亚马逊无法将您的搜索与您个人联系起来。

Canonical receives these search results from Amazon and sends them back to your computer, where they’re displayed in the dash. As Amazon is a large website with a wide variety of products, some users have reported NSFW (not safe for work) products turning up when they perform searches in the dash.

Canonical从Amazon接收这些搜索结果，并将它们发送回您的计算机，并在破折号中显示出来。 由于亚马逊是一个拥有众多产品的大型网站，因此一些用户报告称，他们在破折号中执行搜索时会出现NSFW(不安全的工作)产品。

You can click the information icon at the bottom right corner of the dash to view the legal notice, which explains exactly how this works.

您可以单击破折号右下角的信息图标以查看法律声明，该声明准确地解释了其工作原理。

If you click an Amazon search result and buy the product — or buy anything else on Amazon after clicking one of the ads – Canonical gets a cut of your purchase from Amazon, helping fund Ubuntu’s development.

如果您单击亚马逊搜索结果并购买产品(或单击其中一个广告后在亚马逊上购买其他商品)，Canonical将从您的购买中扣除一部分，从而有助于为Ubuntu的发展提供资金。

禁用Dash中的在线内容 (Disable Online Content in the Dash)

You can disable all online content in the dash from the Privacy control panel. Bear in mind that this also disables other types of online searches, such as the online video feature in the dash.

您可以从“隐私”控制面板的破折号中禁用所有在线内容。 请记住，这还会禁用其他类型的在线搜索，例如破折号中的在线视频功能。

To launch the Privacy control panel, search for Privacy in the dash and launch the Privacy application.

要启动“隐私”控制面板，请在破折号中搜索“隐私”，然后启动“隐私”应用程序。

Set the Include online search results slider to Off and you won’t see Amazon ads in Ubuntu’s dash.

将“ 包括在线搜索结果”滑块设置为“关”，您将在Ubuntu的破折号中看不到亚马逊广告。

仅删除亚马逊搜索广告 (Remove Only Amazon Search Ads)

If you’d like to continue using some types of online content in your dash but you want to disable the Amazon search results, you can uninstall the unity-lens-shopping package to remove only the Amazon advertising.

如果您想继续在仪表板上使用某些类型的在线内容，但又想禁用Amazon搜索结果，则可以卸载unity-lens-shopping软件包以仅删除Amazon广告。

To uninstall the package, open a Terminal window from the dash.

要卸载软件包，请从破折号中打开“终端”窗口。

Type the following command into the Terminal window and press Enter:

在“终端”窗口中键入以下命令，然后按Enter：

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping

Enter your password, type Y to confirm, and Ubuntu will remove the package.

输入密码，输入Y确认，Ubuntu将删除该软件包。

The ads will disappear after you log out and log back in.

注销并重新登录后，广告将消失。

删除亚马逊启动器 (Remove the Amazon Launcher)

The Amazon shortcut on the sidebar – which launches the Amazon website in a browser when clicked — is very easy to remove. Just right-click it and select Unlock from Launcher.

侧边栏上的Amazon快捷方式很容易删除，该快捷方式可在单击时在浏览器中启动Amazon网站。 只需右键单击它，然后选择从启动器解锁。
