I'm unable to test this fix right now but I would like to note that even in Ubuntu 11.04, the proxy authentication was not applied globally. Please confirm that authentication works properly in this fix as well.
for instance, in 11.04, the proxies used to be set as http://host:port/ instead of http://username:password@host:port/ in the env variables and apt.conf. I had to manually add the username and password in the respective files. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/795519 Title: Add back system-wide network proxy settings Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center Using Oneiric alpha1 and gnome-control-center 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu4.
