Re: [Sugar-devel] Fwd: #841 UNSP: SoaS should support using a proxy server
I am working with a school in NH where we can get Sugar to boot and run on some of their machines but we can't get it to connect to the internet because the school uses a proxy server. I am going to a NH LUG meeting tonight to try to recruit a local linux person to help support them. Is this likely to be a pointer to how to fix their internet connection problems?

Hi Caroline, You might want to try setting the gnome proxy server settings as I believe (this theory is untested) xulrunner and telepathy should recognise those settings. you can get that by running gnome-network-properties which is part of the control-center package (no idea off hand if that is in SoaS by default), but you can also set it using the command line but I'm not sure how off hand.

I presume this just sets gconf keys so it might be useful functionality to add to the sugar network control panel so it can be set easier.

Yes, perhaps. There are many keys. gnome-network-properties controls quite a few. The one that was changed by my test was /system/http_proxy/host Others at the same level include: authentication_password authentication_user ignore_hosts port use_authentication use_http_proxy use_same_proxy There's also a collection at /system/proxy, including: autoconfig_url ftp_host ftp_port mode secure_host secure_port socks_host socks_port Network Proxy Preferences on F11 also provides multiple location choices. I imagine large scale deployments of Sugar would use the gconf keys directly rather than expose all this complexity unnecessarily. -- James Cameron http://quozl.linux.org.au/ ___ Sugar-devel mailing list Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel

Agreed, we can/should also document how to do this for deployements within the kickstart file.
