[Bug 24250] Re: Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs
This still exists in Hardy. Proxy is set in both Gnome and APT. FFx works perfectly, command line apt or Synaptic Package Manager and Update-Manager fail to connect to the proxy.

[Bug 24250] Re: Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs
Please set the importance of this bug much higher than it currently is. This bug is preventing me from upgrading from Gutsy to Hardy, because for bandwidth reasons I have to use apt-cacher. Note, though, that update-manager should follow APT's proxy settings, not GNOME's settings. -- Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I agree with Richard: bug #113658 is related to this. Also people here at my university lab (where we use apt-cacher to save bandwith) would benefit a lot! (p.s.

[Bug 24250] Re: Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs
I have had a similar problem during a Feisty to Gutsy upgrade using apt- cacher as proxy (see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update- manager/+bug/113658 ), but it's a generic proxy problem. If Canonical are serious about the corporate market, where proxy servers are very common, they need to fix this sort of bug... Having to hack around on the command line is fine for me since I've used Linux for ages, but users new to Linux will probably just give up or have to use the apt-get upgrade method, which of course can lead to breakage that requires *more* expertise to fix. Please fix this bug and the 113658 bug. Your corporate users will thank you! -- Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Unsetting http_proxy solved the problem in gutsy also. This problem persits since edgy.

[Bug 24250] Re: Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs
I think I know what is going on here. When you set the proxy settings in your Gnome Preferences, it does two different things: - Sets the /system/http_proxy gconf keys - Sets the $http_proxy environment variable. It appears to be the second of these that is causing the problem (at least for me). If you do an "unset http_proxy" from the command line, and then do a "sudo update-manager" things work fine. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the content of the $http_proxy variable (i.e. http://:@:/ ), so I can only assume that update manager isn't parsing it correctly. -- Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 24250] Re: Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs
I still don't think that the gnome proxy settings should be what update- manager should look at for several reasons: 1. I might run update-manager with root permissions (remember: I might even do this without a proper intention, because all the update tools need superuser priviliges) - then there's no way to access the gnome proxy settings of the user anymore 2. The technical reason: update-manager serves (in a rough view) as a front-end to apt. Listening to the gnome proxy settings is nice, but as long as the apt-settings are not correct (or - by mistake or intention - apt and gnome have different proxy settings), update-manager should still use exactly the same mechanism as apt does. Use case: set up a local apt proxy for Ubuntu and use an http proxy to forward all apt-requests to is, but the default web access is provided by the plain router setup. -- Doesn't honor gnome proxy settigs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/24250 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
