Berend > your idea is great and I perfectly agree with your proposition of putting proxy support in the network-manager. (To me, it makes also much sense to put the smtp server in it).
I strongly suggest that your repport your idea upstream against network manager. (Seriously, do it. I really appreciate your idea) Anyway, this is more a mid/long term solution. I cannot even hope to see this in Ubuntu before 9.10, at best. In the meantime, I think there's a need for a "quick fix" that let synaptic use the gnome proxy setting. ** Also affects: synaptic Importance: Undecided Status: New -- get proxy config from gnome configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/13661 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
