This is still a problem in the ubuntu-8.04-desktop-i386.iso release of Gutsy 8.04. The proxy username/password is lost to Gnome applications, thus resulting in: Synaptic Package Manager: Clicking Reload results in a "Could not download all repository indexes" window with a 407 Proxy Authentication Required message for each repository index. Firefox: On first open, Firefox will recognise that authentication is buggered and ask for username and password twice (I assume this is because it's makes 2 requests to Live bookmarks or similar on load). Then it's fine.
Will update if it still occurs after all updates are made to 8.04. I just need to get some workaround in order to get those updates. -- 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 subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
