New question #76262 on Ubuntu:
https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/76262
I want to be able to install updates, new programs, use remote desktop and vpn
clients.
But I am behind a corporate proxy.
For Ubuntu there is a menu option to set a system-wide network proxy. (I do not
need to provide a password).
For Xbuntu there is no corresponding option.
I can point Firefox to a proxy.pac file and the browser then works, but other
programs, like "apt" do not.
I have tried many suggestions such as:
export http_proxy=http:://ProxyURL:PortNumber
and
export http_proxy="http:://ProxyURL:PortNumber"
where I have replaced "ProxyURL" and "PortNumber" with the ones that work for
Ubuntu.
I have added the above to:
/etc/bash.bashrc
~/.bashrc
/etc/environment
all to no avail.
Regards, Rodney.
