I'm using Natty..to resolve my proxy problem I had to do the #7 and #13 tricks.. so I did like this..
$sudo visudo then add the following lines Defaults env_keep="http_proxy" Defaults env_keep="https_proxy" then: $ sudo bash # export https_proxy=http://[username:password@]www.proxy.com:8000/ # add-apt-repository ppa:<whatever> p.s. I used the ip of my proxy instead of its dns name.. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516032 Title: add-apt-repository doesn't work behind a proxy -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
