Ok, when I put print proxies
the line before "if proxies:" and I run /etc/cron.daily/update-notifier manually, the proxies are printed out correctly. When I leave it to run via cron/run-parts, I get this however: /etc/cron.daily/update-notifier-common: {} Is this due to run-parts or the cron environment? ** Also affects: update-notifier Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to flashplugin-nonfree in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1098233 Title: flashplugin-installer do not honore proxy settings Status in Adobe Flash Plugin Tools: New Status in The Update Notifier: New Status in “flashplugin-nonfree” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Description: Ubuntu 12.10 Release: 12.10 Codename: quantal flashplugin-installer: Installato: 11.2.202.258ubuntu0.12.10.1 Candidato: 11.2.202.261ubuntu0.12.10.1 Tabella versione: 11.2.202.261ubuntu0.12.10.1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-updates/multiverse i386 Packages 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal-security/multiverse i386 Packages *** 11.2.202.258ubuntu0.12.10.1 0 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 11.2.202.243ubuntu1 0 500 http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ quantal/multiverse i386 Packages flashplugin-installer do not honore proxy settings so cannot download the proxy so my update are frozen on Elaborazione dei trigger per update-notifier-common... flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz already reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/+bug/1037662 Very old issue still not solved... :-( #---------------- Workaround for user with same issue ---------------- As a workaround... while the apt-get update process is frozen on the row below Elaborazione dei trigger per update-notifier-common... flashplugin-installer: downloading http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz Opening another terminal... wget http://archive.canonical.com/pool/partner/a/adobe-flashplugin/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz sudo /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/install_plugin $(pwd)/adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz rm adobe-flashplugin_11.2.202.261.orig.tar.gz then to release the frozen update process, type: sudo killall dpkg or reboot the pc, then type: sudo dpkg --configure -a to check and put in a good state the apt env... # -------------------------------------------------------------- Thanks ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.10 Package: flashplugin-installer 11.2.202.258ubuntu0.12.10.1 Uname: Linux 3.7.1-030701-generic i686 ApportVersion: 2.6.1-0ubuntu9 Architecture: i386 Date: Thu Jan 10 15:39:05 2013 MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: flashplugin-nonfree UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to quantal on 2012-07-02 (192 days ago) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/adobe-flash-plugin-tools/+bug/1098233/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
