Public bug reported:
I'm actually using Kubuntu 10.11 but the bug reporting system there seems to be
affected by the same problem and I can't be bothered at present to sort it out.
(Yes I've tried alt+F2, and typing "ubuntu-bug systemsettings") Package
identification is another issue.
The problem I encountered was trying to update a new install of Kubuntu 10.11
on a clean workstation behind a proxy. I set the proxy settings in the Network
Settings tab/page/etc of System Settings which allowed the web browser to see
outside the walled garden, this did not apply these system wide - under an
administrator account. I guessed the issue was with a config file - in fact I
had to create /etc/apt/apt.conf and enter the proxy information in that. This
worked wonders for Muon/Software centre, but can I suggest that either the
network tab in the System Settings applies the information globally, or the
Software centre has a decent "config" section which will do this?
Feel free to reply to me and tell me not to post this here, but the web pages
regarding the bugs seem to be circular. Lauchpad also doesn't like rekonq which
doesn't help!!
Thanks for your time
Tim
ps I haven't checked this as a Security Vuln, but technically it could be
argued that an inability to update is.
