[Bug 861443] Re: There is no easy way to change proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10
Duplicate Bug, Duplicate comment... Disappointed New Updates still do not allow for setting ignore_hosts, which in almost all cases where a proxy is needed there is an intranet that is not sent through the proxy. I love automatic security updates, an essential part of the Ubuntu experience. I do not love nor am I enchanted by having the aforementioned automatic security update remove access to the corporate intranet that was working fine before I consented to install updates. Removal of the old version left its settings around, and when compared to new set, they were better organized and more complete. I've added ignore_hosts setting to the new set in hopes that its implemented but not in the gui yet. I'll find out on the next reboot I suppose, Else I am confined to Firefox for the intranet as it allows manual proxy setup with exclusions. This replacement was shortsighted and not at all customer focused. So here is a tip for you, free of charge. If a large group of your users depend on standard ways of doing things, PROXY SETTINGS for instance, DO NOT REPLACE THAT FUNCTIONALITY with LESS FUNCTION. One would think this is self evident, I guess not. This bug is from early September, Almost November now and it is almost finished, but pushed out on my machine anyway.

[Bug 861443] Re: There is no easy way to change proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10
No sweat, I'll file the upstream bug, however let me quote the desription of this bug and your reply and you can weigh wether this bug is squashed. I can't found a easy (not-cli, at least) way of changing the proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10. As you undoubtedly have noticed, the option is still available via command-line, as such: gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost', '127.0.0.0/8', 'some.other.host'] Clearly, no_proxy or ignore_hosts is a proxy setting. Just try using curl in a corporate intranet environment of moderate size without it. I would also expect to see seperate setting for https_proxy but that at least is an actual edgecase. The minor inconvienience of finding out, why is the intranet down was easily remedied, proxy settings changed. Long time user, setting via commandline of via the tool d'jure for gconf was also easily discoverable and was minimally distracting overall. What is more disturbing was the choice to blindly update the tools with a demonstrably inferior reiteration. That is a Ubuntu decision, and a Ubuntu bug. I recommend ubuntu to many of my coworkers, taking down access to 50% to 90% of their job this morning was a bug. Network setup, configuration, and maintenance must be a high priority, if there is no maintainer for those packages that touch these areas and ship with the base Ubuntu install, then I am taken well aback. If there is such person(s) they let quite a few of us down today, and tarnished an otherwise shiny and spreading Ubuntu reputation within our organization. So, I will leave the way I came in, disappointed... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861443 Title: There is no easy way to change proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/861443/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
