[Bug 795519] Re: Add back system-wide network proxy settings

 

Still confirming it, tested on alpha 3. Seems like the proxy setting in
the settings menu has absolutely no effect: Firefox fails to use proxy
if made to use system settings.

  Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

  Using Oneiric alpha1 and gnome-control-center 1:3.0.2-1ubuntu4.
  In the control center I click on the Network button and I configure the network proxy settings there. I set it to Manual proxy.
  It had no effect on apt-get, update manager and Chromium. None of them is able to connect to the internet.
