Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
Starting a SOCKS proxy with a command such as
ssh -v -N -D 8000 the-remote-host
And setting gnome-network-properties (the proxy thing) to connect to the
SOCKS proxy on port 8000, all the apps seem to ignore it completely. I
tested with Evolution, Epiphany and Empathy.
The only app that doesn't ignore it (because I see activity in the
terminal) is chromium-browser.
How can I troubleshoot this properly?
