so if I understood you correctly a workaround is to set the proxy variable by:
$export http_proxy=http://www.example.com:8000/ instead of using the network proxy gui? Does having "http" instead of "https" cause problems with other apps? -- add-apt-repository doesn't work behind a proxy https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/516032 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
