@ginggs I just reapplied the settings system wide using the graphical user interface and it fixed it, thanks.
The reason I edited /etc/environment by hand and did not use the GUI in the first place is that it does not allow to declare exceptions (the 'no_proxy' variable). Here are the logs (Note the now duplicated entries in /etc/environment) : $ cat /etc/environment PATH="/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games" https_proxy = http://webcache.name.fr:3128/ http_proxy = http://webcache.name.fr:3128/ ftp_proxy = http://webcache.name.fr:3128/ no_proxy='localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.groupe.name.fr' http_proxy="http://webcache.name.fr:3128/"; https_proxy="https://webcache.name.fr:3128/"; ftp_proxy="ftp://webcache.name.fr:3128/"; $ sudo -i set|grep proxy ftp_proxy=ftp://webcache.name.fr:3128/ http_proxy=http://webcache.name.fr:3128/ https_proxy=https://webcache.name.fr:3128/ no_proxy='localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.groupe.name.fr' $ sudo -i /usr/lib/update-notifier/package-data-downloader flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.235.orig.tar.gz Installing from local file /tmp/tmpVDNyU4.gz Flash Plugin installed. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/983559 Title: package-data-downloader utility does not honor apt http proxy settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-notifier/+bug/983559/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
