There is simply no other way around for setting a global proxy(someone correct 
me if I am wrong). LXDE simply must reread the ~/.profile file for the proxy 
settings to globally apply. 
One alternative for you might be that you can start a terminal and execute 
"source ~/.profile" right after a proxy change in lxproxy, which will then load 
the proxy changes you made for this terminal window. So running chromium or 
another app will use then the shortly changed proxy settings.

Chromium just uses the system proxy settings and doesn't have its own proxy 
manager.

I think chromium simply looks for the gnome gconf entries and not the 
freedesktop specification in xdg

Yes those browsers have their own proxy managers on board. But you cannot set 
a global proxy for every app with them.

Installed Rabbit4.8 (a simple java proxy, which is really easy to use
by the way), and got it up and running in no time. Probably squid is
also easy to set up, I just did not have the time to try it. LXProxy
is not acceptable for me, since logging out and back again is not
something I would do for a proxy setting change.

Unfortunatelly in Chromium 8.0.552.215 (67652) Ubuntu 10.10, I can not
add proxy configuration to my browser. When I click on Change proxy
settings, I'm getting:

"When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the
system proxy settings will be used. However, either your system is not
supported or there was a problem launching your system configuration.

But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man
chromium-browser for more information on flags and environment
variables."


This is too bad.

Is this also related to the fact that LXDE is a "simple window
manager" ? (bug related to the issue that Chromium can not determine
if it's default browser or not):
https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=53066

Installed Midori and FF, both could be configured to use the above
mentioned proxy (in general, proxies could be added to these
browsers).

thanks

LXProxy needs a relogon to activate proxy settings as its writing them to your 
~/.profile file. Some apps also their own proxy configuration settings. 
And please write also a bug report ( http://launchpad.net/lxproxy ) with a 
little more details so that I can take a look at it and fix a problem that 
might occured.

[Lubuntu-desktop] proxy setup?

2010-12-09 Thread Zoltan Matlak
Hi,

I started using (at least tried) Lubuntu 10.10 at my workplace (enterprise
environment), and need to setup a proxy.
Is it possible to setup a system/global proxy in lubuntu? Tried Lxproxy, but
did not work. Also couldn't find any info regarding this.

Can you please point me in the right direction (wiki, forum, etc..
anything).

Thanks
Zoltan
