Public bug reported: Hi there,
I'm using Linux Mint but I guess that's my error is relevant to here as well: RELEASE=17.1 CODENAME=rebecca EDITION="Cinnamon 64-bit" DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca" DESKTOP=Gnome TOOLKIT=GTK NEW_FEATURES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_rebecca_cinnamon_whatsnew.php RELEASE_NOTES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_rebecca_cinnamon.php USER_GUIDE_URL=help:linuxmint GRUB_TITLE=Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit I noticed that in the last couple of days (I guess due to some package upgrade), when I configure a system-wide proxy setting using the network-manager, the system default socks proxy would be socks4 instead of socks5. My proxy server is socks5 so when I try to use cURL or any other tool I receive an error: curl: (7) SOCKS4 reply has wrong version, version should be 4. I can override that by specifying flags like "curl --socks5", but that's just a work around to ignore the system-wide setting... I know the network-manager actually sets the a gsetting in 'org.gnome.system.proxy', but I couldn't find any place to specify the TYPE of proxy (either socks4, socks4a or socks5). ** Affects: network-manager (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1538538 Title: unable to configure socks5 proxy Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Hi there, I'm using Linux Mint but I guess that's my error is relevant to here as well: RELEASE=17.1 CODENAME=rebecca EDITION="Cinnamon 64-bit" DESCRIPTION="Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca" DESKTOP=Gnome TOOLKIT=GTK NEW_FEATURES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_rebecca_cinnamon_whatsnew.php RELEASE_NOTES_URL=http://www.linuxmint.com/rel_rebecca_cinnamon.php USER_GUIDE_URL=help:linuxmint GRUB_TITLE=Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon 64-bit I noticed that in the last couple of days (I guess due to some package upgrade), when I configure a system-wide proxy setting using the network-manager, the system default socks proxy would be socks4 instead of socks5.
