I manually edited /etc/apt/apt.conf to include the details of the proxy I use. This proxy requires authentication. Updating via 'apt' or 'aptitude' on the command-line works fine.
Updating network proxy settings via System | Preferences | Network Proxy breaks apt.conf. The settings are included, but the authentication part of the URL (http://USER:p...@proxy...) is not included, even though I have specified the username and password in the network settings dialog. -- system-wide proxy does not apply to synaptic https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/290313 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
