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

 

/etc/apt/apt.conf not being updated is a bug in ubuntu-system-service,
so please file a new one for that product.

About authenticated proxy, there is no UI indeed, and it's too late in
the cycle to add it, so it will have to wait until 3.3, but for the time
being people can use http://user:password@host:port URLs. It's filed
upstream as https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=646354

About exclusion list, ditto, no UI till 3.3, but it is possible to set
the list in GSettings, under /system/proxy/ignored-hosts

  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.
