Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-control-center
In System->Preferences->Network Proxy, I set it to use Manual proxy configuration, using the same proxy for all protocols. I provide the HTTP proxy, port, and in details the authentication username and password. On applying system-wide and closing, I still need to change files such as /etc/apt/apt.conf, /etc/environment to include the authentication to be like "http://username:password@proxy-ip:port/";. I also need to add the proxy details in /etc/wgetrc - the proxy settings themselves as well as proxy_user and proxy_passwd. In the debian stable, all these things are done automatically by gnome-network-properties. This problem existed in ubuntu 11.04 beta 2 also.
