Proxy settings on oneiric just don't work. I just don't understand how functionality and value was reduced from natty and all its ancestors, and the people are only finger pointing - this bug is similar to that and that bug was addressed by so and so...
There is a button for applying proxies system wide. The button does not work most of the time. It doesn't ask for a sudo password most of the time. It does not modify /etc/environment. It does not create any proxy settings in /etc/apt/conf.d/ It looks like this will *never* be fixed. Whatever bug you file - it will be similar to some other bug. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/876839 Title: Proxy GUI in 11.10 does not configure socks proxy for HTTP traffic To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/876839/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
