I ran into the same problem. Update-manager should at least use apt.conf proxy settings and then we can give users a APT-proxy gui tool. A workaround is to run "gksu gnome-network-preferences". We could add a network preferences icon to the System --> Administration menu that points to "gksu gnome-network-preferences" and label the icon as "Network Proxy (root)" -- Update Manager and synaptic HTTP Proxy settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/21536 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
