Ok so following the advice on gconf and dconf it seems like system wide settings work for chrome, and that is about it. Firefox, spotify etc. all need to be updated in their respective settings.
Also this problem means I am unable to run VPN as it depends on system wide setting of proxy works. Sorry to say it but the lack of progress on this issue since the release will probably lead me to change to Windows 7. Ubuntu has become all to unreliable for professional use when it comes to proxy settings and working in a corporate environment. This also means no one at work will upgrade to 11.10, and likely it is end of life for Ubuntu at our workplace. Best of luck. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876839 Title: Proxy GUI in 11.10 does not configure socks proxy for HTTP traffic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/876839/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
