You have been subscribed to a public bug: The Network Proxy settings available under Settings/Network are not applied system wide. Unlike 16.x, there is no "apply system wide" setting. Setting a proxy here: - does not modify /etc/environment - does not set root's http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy environment variables
This means that apt and Software Updates do not receive the proxy settings, and package checks/updates/installs fail. workaround: sudo http_proxy='http://[username]:[password]@[webproxy]:[port]' apt update etc ** Affects: gnome-shell (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: bot-comment -- Proxy settings not applied system-wide, are not used by Software Update or apt https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730672 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-shell in Ubuntu. -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
