Public bug reported: Reproducer ;
1. Set proxy with UI on user1 Method : Manual HTTP Proxy : http://test.com Port : 8080 HTTPS Proxy : https://test.com Port : 9090 Click "Apply system wide" No warning/error will be shown, but if looking at : - /etc/environment - /etc/apt/apt.conf They won't be updated/created. The reason is because the protocol is automatically added during the saving process so that the configuration should look as follow : (without the protocol http://, https://) Method : Manual HTTP Proxy : test.com Port : 8080 HTTPS Proxy : test.com Port : 9090 In order to improve the user experience, it would be great to have a mechanism that detect if the protocol has been accidentally added to the field, or at least a quick message in the applet window to let the user know to not add the protocol. ** Affects: unity-control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658118 Title: Network applet should warn or generate a warning/error if user tries to add protocol in front of the proxy value To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-control-center/+bug/1658118/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
