All the issues related to libproxy for starters, like not being able to get a popper configuration with GNOME 2, and thus all the DE's that already rely on those GConf settings, like Xfce. And all the issues related to GNOME 3 configuration, like the fact that all authentication is missing. Plus, in my machine, even with GNOME 3's control center it's confusing what should be the settings, and even when I put exactly the right settings, it takes a long long time to log in. >> * telepathy-idle >> >> No proxy support on the horizon. > > Idle has switched to GIO (fdo #37145) so SHOULD be at the same state as > Gabble. Yes, many things should be in certain way *in theory*, but then why is fdo #12376 still open? Because nobody has actually tried *in practice*. Here, let me try... Nope... doesn't work. What a surprise. >> * telepathy-rakia >> >> No proxy support on the horizon. Or bug report about it. > > Please feel free to open one. Why would I do that? As I stated multiple times, this is not *needed* to solve the issue at hand. You can disagree all you want with me, but the fact of the matter is that after more than 3 years this bug has existed, the issue remains there, and users are *completely* prevented to use Empathy. This is the problem going the GNOME way of trying to have everything perfectly. When is that going to happen? 2020? -- Felipe Contreras -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/304889 Title: Does not use system proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/304889/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
