I don't think this issue is fixed in 12.04 beta. I have set my proxy settings in Network Settings, in ~/.bashrc, in /etc/apt.conf and in /etc/wgetrc (as I used to do in 10.04 and 10.10). Web browsers work, wget works and updates (both graphical and via apt- get) work, except for the flashplugin-installer, which times out when trying to download the file:

Should I open a new bug report or continue with this one? Also if you need more info on my system I'll be happy to provide it, I'm running an updated 12.04, with 3.2.0-23-generic kernel, x86_64. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283500 Title: Synaptic, update-manager, apt-get and wget should share proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/synaptic/+bug/283500/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
