No sweat, I'll file the upstream bug, however let me quote the desription of this bug and your reply and you can weigh wether this bug is squashed.
>>I can't found a easy (not-cli, at least) way of changing the proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10. >>As you undoubtedly have noticed, the option is still available via >>command-line, as such: >>gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy ignore-hosts ['localhost', >>'127.0.0.0/8', 'some.other.host'] Clearly, no_proxy or ignore_hosts is a proxy setting. Just try using curl in a corporate intranet environment of moderate size without it. I would also expect to see seperate setting for https_proxy but that at least is an actual edgecase. The minor inconvienience of finding out, "why is the intranet down" was easily remedied, "proxy settings changed". Long time user, setting via commandline of via the tool d'jure for gconf was also easily discoverable and was minimally distracting overall. What is more disturbing was the choice to blindly update the tools with a demonstrably inferior reiteration. That is a Ubuntu decision, and a Ubuntu bug. I recommend ubuntu to many of my coworkers, taking down access to 50% to 90% of their job this morning was a bug. Network setup, configuration, and maintenance must be a high priority, if there is no maintainer for those packages that touch these areas and ship with the base Ubuntu install, then I am taken well aback. If there is such person(s) they let quite a few of us down today, and tarnished an otherwise shiny and spreading Ubuntu reputation within our organization. So, I will leave the way I came in, disappointed... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/861443 Title: There is no easy way to change proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10 Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “network-manager-applet” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Status in “network-manager-applet” source package in Oneiric: Fix Released Bug description: I can't found a easy (not-cli, at least) way of changing the proxy settings in Ubuntu 11.10. There is no option to change any network settings in gnome-control-center, and the network-applet does not have the option to change the proxy. I think that a GUI for changing the proxy is a must-have, specially since it was available in Ubuntu 11.04. Also, is my opinion that, at least in the long term, the proxy settings should be related to the network options, so a different proxy is set to every network (specially important for notebooks with are used in different locations). A screenshot of gnome-control-center is attached, showing the lack of network options.
