The function "apply system-wide" should at least also update /etc/apt/apt.conf including authentication credentials. This would fix many issues (also the following).
An additional remark for those who will sometimes address/fix this issue. There is also a little problem with "sudo" as it will clear the environment variable http_proxy in case it have been set before. One solution could be to use "env_keep". But this could be a security concern. Maybe sudo has another way to define environment variables in a fixed way. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/602254 Title: Proxy "Apply System Wide" does not preserve authentication settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/602254/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
