Yes, that's the problem in this context. You can specify in /etc/sudoers that you want your proxy variable to be preserved by adding this line: Defaults env_keep="http_proxy" Note that this allows any user with sudo access to MITM root's network connections, so is not enabled by default. We should really just make sudo pull in /etc/environment though, I think. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977178 Title: After upgrading to 12.04, flash doesn't seem to be installed to Firefox even though the package is.
