[Bug 658445] Re: Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager
I think this is a major bug. Rendering it invalid does not solve any purpose for anyone who is planning to deploy ubuntu in enterprise environments where there is proxy. Please, please fix this bug . it is affecting chat sessions in my office network. exporting proxy using export http_proxy doesnt help either. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658445 Title: Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Omer, As you can see reading all posts, the problem affects mainly empathy and Update-Manager. In this situation, are you asking to report twice the same bug: one related to empathy package and the other for Update Manager?

thanks for the bug report. if the issue is with empathy report for empathy and if the issue is with update-manager/software-center or such you have to report against the related packages. i am closing this bug as invalid and if the issue is still there please open a new bug which explains the issue clearly. thanks ** Changed in: empathy (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658445 Title: Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

It sounds like I have the same problem with Firefox. Chromium, w3m or uzbl are working fine when manually defining proxy settings but Firefox doesn't.

I have this bug, Empathy and update manager does not work with proxy settings. This bug also affects Rhythmbox. I changed proxy configuration in System-Parameters-Proxy several times and used many combinations - the bug still present. ** Tags added: rhythmbox -- Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658445 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Applying the Proxy settings in System-Wide mode should allow internet access to all the applications..But sometimes it can malfunction.

Tushar, In that forum they just suggest to set the http_proxy variable in the classical fashion: export http_proxy=http://login:passw...@proxy:port Although exporting the http_proxy variable can be useful in some occasion (i.e. with software not supporting explicitly proxies), in this case can not be considered a solution and however, It is proven not to work.

[Bug 658445] Re: Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager
Thank you for your feedback, jeannich. However, I think that the problem is more general and related to the upgrade process on O.S. with a lot of packages installed. I upgraded from 9.04 and 10,04 15 computers in total (13 Desktops and 2 Servers) The upgrade process was successful on 9 computers while on the remaining 6 (5 desktops and 1 Servers with a LAMP stack using Lighttpd) I detected problems related to the ScreeSaver package (unlock the screen was not possible), security problems (every attemp to process a php page caused a 403 error), proxy detection problems similar to the reported one. In this scenario the only possible hypothesis is that in presence of complex configuration, the actual upgrade corrupts some settings after updating the packages. -- Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658445 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I had this regression also with update-manager. After the following steps, it turned to be working again: -Set your proxy in System/Preferences/Network Proxy -apply system wide -In System/Administration/Synaptic/Settings/Preferences/Network set your http proxy. -Reboot I think the key point here is a reboot ; maybe just a restart of update- manager or Network-manager wuold have been enough. -- Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658445 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to empathy in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
