I connect to internet through Proxy Authentication. I made apt-get to work with this by having the apt.conf at /etc/apt
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ cat /etc/apt/apt.conf Acquire::http::Proxy "http://[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED]"; And my http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables to set too, http_proxy=http://[EMAIL PROTECTED] ftp_proxy=ftp://[EMAIL PROTECTED] To even be more safe, I have set the system wide proxy settings in System->Preferences->Network Proxy Now, In Synaptic, I have set the Proxy again in the Preferences->Network After all these settings change, Synaptic does not work . It fails to download packages or perform Reload and throws error that Proxy Authentication is needed apt-get works fine. And as said in the bug description, If you open synaptic as sudo synaptic it works but not as gksu or gksudo synaptic ! Why is gksu or gksudo does not recognize proxy settings -- Synaptic proxy authentication integration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/105415 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
