Thank you for your feedback, jeannich. However, I think that the problem is more general and related to the upgrade process on O.S. with a lot of packages installed.
I upgraded from 9.04 and 10,04 15 computers in total (13 Desktops and 2 Servers) The upgrade process was successful on 9 computers while on the remaining 6 (5 desktops and 1 Servers with a LAMP stack using Lighttpd) I detected problems related to the ScreeSaver package (unlock the screen was not possible), security problems (every attemp to process a php page caused a 403 error), proxy detection problems similar to the reported one. In this scenario the only possible hypothesis is that in presence of complex configuration, the actual upgrade corrupts some settings after updating the packages. -- Ubuntu 10.10: proxy settings are not detected in some applications like empathy or update-manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/658445 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
