1@roadmr Are what? It's stuff I don't want to buy. – empedokles Jul 28 '14 at 14:37

@musher Not, it's obvisiously not from Amazon as roadmr wrote. Where does the Greedystuff come from? – empedokles Jul 28 '14 at 14:38

@empedokles if you looked through that thread you'd see how to disable all of the canonical app store entries, as well. – Mitch Jul 28 '14 at 14:43

I think that that is suggestions from the Ubuntu Software centre, as to what you may wish to install. – Tim Jul 28 '14 at 14:43

@empedokles (sorry, comment got posted before I finished it). these are results from software center. You can choose which sources are shown in your dash by clicking on "filter results", there you can choose which categories show in your dash, and from which sources. Give it a try and let me know. Also, please be more patient with volunteers trying to help you :) – roadmr Jul 28 '14 at 14:45

Uh, those are not Amazon results but Ubuntu Software Centre results. They are not live online results - but use data obtained by updating the apt database (which you would need to do for installing software anyway). No third party is involved. To disable it, see How to remove the Ubuntu Software Center Suggestions from the Dash.
