The proxy server address u may be using should be wrong. Use http_proxy=http://username:[email protected]:3128 As said by sumit, u hav to put this in ur ~/.bashrc. Type gedit ~/.bashrc and append the above to the end of the file.
I would not recommend this way because the anyone who opens the bashrc file can c ur pass. Instead try setting the proxy in synaptic itself. In synaptic: Go to Settings->Preferences. Take Network tab. Select manual proxy configuration Enter 10.10.3.14 as HTTP proxy and FTP proxy, port number is 3128 for both Click on Authentication,give ur id and password. Click ok->ok This should work. Regards, Vipin Balachandran C.Tech IIT Delhi -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
