Public bug reported: Ubuntu Hardy Alpha 6
I use a squid proxy to fetch http[s] and ftp from the internet. The proxy has digest auth enabled. The *installer* took my proxy details and seemed happy with them, but once I was booted into the installed system and attempted an apt-get update, it just failed to fetch anything saying that authentication was required. The authentication information was supplied, eg: Acquire::http:;Proxy "http://rachel:<password-redacted>@<hostname- redacted>:3128/" Another ubuntu hardy system already up and running also failed to get updates in the same fashion, after setting the proxy and auth information in Symantic's Network preferences. (Luckily my proxy use is optional - it's just to get around a poorly- performing transparent proxy in the ISP - so it's not an utter showstopper. I'm also not 100% convinced I've configured the proxy correctly as I periodically get asked to submit the user/password again in FF3 on a Mac on the same network.) ** Affects: ubuntu Importance: Undecided Status: New -- apt-get fails to work through squid proxy with digest auth https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/202599 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
