Package: gnome-control-center Version: 2.28.1 Severity: normal Description: In gnome-network-properties, when you set a proxy, either with authentication information and/or some ‘Ignored Hosts’, and choose ‘Apply System-Wide…’, this is not correctly spread to the /etc/environment file.
Steps to Reproduce: 1) Open the gnome-network-properties dialog. 2) Set a proxy either with authentication and/or some ignored hosts, for instance: – proxy: myproxy.mydomain.com – port: 3128, – user: myuser – password: mypassword – ignored hosts: localhost, 127.0.0.0/8, *.local 3) Choose ‘Apply System-Wide…’. 4) Look at the /etc/environment file. Actual Results: Neither the authentication information, nor the ignored hosts are set into the /etc/environment file. Sample result /etc/environment file: PATH=[...] http_proxy="http://myproxy.mydomain.com:3128/"; ftp_proxy="ftp://myproxy.mydomain.com:3128/"; https_proxy="https://myproxy.mydomain.com:3128/"; Expected Results: If authentication information has been set in the dialog, it must be set into the file. If ignored hosts have been set, a no_proxy variable must be created and set. Expected result /etc/environment file: PATH=[...] http_proxy="http://myuser:mypassw...@myproxy.mydomain.com:3128/"; ftp_proxy="ftp://myuser:mypassw...@myproxy.mydomain.com:3128/"; https_proxy="https://myuser:mypassw...@myproxy.mydomain.com:3128/"; no_proxy="localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local" Build Date & Platform: Ubuntu Karmic Koala 9.10 Additional Builds and Platforms: Must happen on all Debian based distribution. Additional Information: This bug is quite critical, because it affects all the applications that read the http_proxy and others environment variables: gnome-terminal and all applications launched from it (aptitude for instance), eclipse, synaptic, -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
