Since my test upgrade to hardy, I have a similiar probem with gksudo *and* normal sudo.
Every application (apt-get, apport, hwdb, ...) startet with (gk)sudo does not use the proxy and the connection times out. For apt-get I configured the proxy directly in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/, but this is not possible for every program. For example, I tried to "apport-retrace" a crash report, it begins to work until it finds a file, which is not part of a package: sudo apport-retrace -g _usr_bin_php5.1000.crash [...] WARNING: libc6-i686-dbgsym is not available WARNING: libpng12-0-dbgsym is not available Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/apport-retrace", line 446, in <module> options.unpack_only, options.no_dpkg, options.extra_packages) File "/usr/bin/apport-retrace", line 271, in install_missing_packages pkg = apport.packaging.get_file_package(l, True) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport/packaging_impl.py", line 205, in get_file_package return self._search_contents(file, map_cachedir) File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.5/apport/packaging_impl.py", line 357, in _search_contents urllib.urlretrieve(url, map) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 89, in urlretrieve return _urlopener.retrieve(url, filename, reporthook, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 222, in retrieve fp = self.open(url, data) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 190, in open return getattr(self, name)(url) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/urllib.py", line 325, in open_http h.endheaders() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 856, in endheaders self._send_output() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 728, in _send_output self.send(msg) File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 695, in send self.connect() File "/usr/lib/python2.5/httplib.py", line 679, in connect raise socket.error, msg IOError: [Errno socket error] (110, 'Connection timed out') Exception exceptions.ImportError: ImportError('No module named shutil',) in <bound method __AptDpkgPackageInfo.__del__ of <apport.packaging_impl.__AptDpkgPackageInfo instance at 0x835520c>> ignored --------------- When I explicitly set the proxy, for example with the following command, it does work: sudo http_proxy=$http_proxy apport-retrace -g _usr_bin_php5.1000.crash [....] WARNING: libpng12-0-dbgsym is not available WARNING: /usr/lib/php5/20060613+lfs/ssh2.so is needed, but cannot be mapped to a package WARNING: libtidy-0.99-0-dbgsym is not available WARNING: libexpat1-dbgsym is not available WARNING: libc6-i686-dbgsym is not available WARNING: libtasn1-3-dbgsym is not available [...] Core was generated by `/usr/bin/php -d html_errors=off -qC /usr/share/php/phing.php -logger phing.list'.

(the php problem has to do with a self compiled php extension, so I am not reporting it as a bug, it is only an example) -- No good proxy conf, for synaptic... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56655 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
