MrCopilot; We understand your frustration. Ignoring hosts for proxy is something that tends to be useful, but perhaps it was deemed not as frequently used as the other functions by upstream developers, which is why it's no longer exposed in the UI (which is something Ubuntu gets from upstream, so it applies to all distributions using Gnome3). As you undoubtedly have noticed, the option is still available via command-line, as such:
gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost', '127.0.0.0/8', 'some.other.host'] However, the issue you're describing is something different than not being able to change proxy settings at all. As such, I'd like to invite you to file a new, separate bug report that covers *precisely and only* exposing ignore-hosts in UI. We can then send this report to the upstream developers at GNOME (alternatively, you can just file the bug there directly (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME)). This way it will run the best chance of being taken care of by developers. -- 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/861443 Title: There is no easy way to change proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10 Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “network-manager-applet” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: I can't found a easy (not-cli, at least) way of changing the proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10. There is no option to change any network settings in gnome-control-center, and the network-applet does not have the option to change the proxy. I think that a GUI for changing the proxy is a must-have, specially since it was available in Ubuntu 11.04. Also, is my opinion that, at least in the long term, the proxy settings should be related to the network options, so a different proxy is set to every network (specially important for notebooks with are used in different locations). A screenshot of gnome-control-center is attached, showing the lack of network options.
