Tushar, In that forum they just suggest to set the http_proxy variable in the classical "fashion":
export http_proxy=http://login:passw...@proxy:port Although exporting the http_proxy variable can be useful in some occasion (i.e. with software not supporting explicitly proxies), in this case can not be considered a solution and however, It is proven not to work. Thank you anyway for your feedback. -- 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
