0. Remove your Ubuntu One account if you have one set up already.
1. In System Settings, choose “Accounts” > “Ubuntu One”.
What you see: A dialog with an e-mail address field containing placeholder
text:
“example: u...@ubuntu.com”
What you should see: No such placeholder text.
Placeholder text is a bad idea in general, because it’s easily confused with
actual field contents, because you can’t check it once you’ve entered anything,
and because it can make the field look disabled.

And this placeholder text is particularly bad because it doesn’t tell
anyone anything they don’t already know (nobody will not understand
what an “e-mail address” is, but become enlightened when they see
“example: u...@ubuntu.com”), and because it’s present only for the
e-mail address field and not the password field, strengthening the
impression that it is actual field contents.
