Title:
Proxy settings not applied system-wide, are not used by Software
Update or apt
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in update-manager package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
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
