I think the importance is labelled wrong, but I can't change it. Schools, most other public sector organisations, and most medium-to- large businesses access the web from behind a firewall that blocks all web traffic except through a proxy. This means that anyone at those organisations who uses ubuntu is going to find that web pages can't use flash, several of their favourite fonts won't install, etc.
I think this is a serious obstacle to solving bug 1. -- Synaptic, update-manager, apt-get and wget should share proxy settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/283500 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
