Public bug reported: The Network Proxy settings available under Settings/Network are not applied system wide. Unlike 16.x, there is no "apply system wide" setting. Setting a proxy here: - does not modify /etc/environment - does not set root's http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy environment variables
This means that apt and Software Updates do not receive the proxy settings, and package checks/updates/installs fail. workaround: sudo http_proxy='http://[username]:[password]@[webproxy]:[port]' apt update etc ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730672 Title: Proxy settings not applied system-wide, are not used by Software Update or apt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1730672/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
