It's my understanding that in 12.04, you should no longer need to be a member of the admin or adm group, just sudo: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/TechnicalOverview/Beta2#Other . You should definitely expect a 'sudo' group.
In general, when a bug status is 'fix released' I believe that means it's supposed to be fixed in a package currently available in some release. (I think it'd be more useful if they indicated specifically which package version it was supposed to be fixed in, but in any event, for this bug, as I noted, I believe it's actually fixed in 1:3.4.0-0ubuntu7 .) This was pushed out at least a few days ago. You can check what version of gnome-control-center is installed on your system by running dpkg -l gnome-control-center. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/967978 Title: missing "apply system-wide" in network>proxy To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/967978/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
