the last trick (#18) was to solve the error for the command apt-add- repository..
to solve the apt-get update error, I did this.. sudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf and there I fixed the proxy lines like this.. Acquire::http::proxy "http://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";; Acquire::ftp::proxy "ftp://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";; Acquire::https::proxy "https://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";; now everything works..and I can add repositories and update the way I like it.. don't know if this bug should be reopened, at least for Natty.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516032 Title: add-apt-repository doesn't work behind a proxy -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
