Since in the main (ubuntu) menu System > Network Proxy, you have an "apply system wide", this "http_proxy" variable should be taken care of somehow...
Either a/ by passing it through sudo b/ the menu configuration add it somewhere somehow so that sudo get initialized with the "global official variable" (if a sudo.initial_env file would have existed, should be placed there). solution b is more security-proof. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/556293 Title: sudo does not keep http_proxy environment variable -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
