I was able to make apt work, by manually editing the /etc/apt/apt.conf file, and removing the proxy information from there. But I am having trouble installing any snaps, and still have to find a way to make that work.
Jason, I upgraded from 17.04 as well but I did not have any trouble interestingly. I think I removed the system wide proxy in 17.04 before upgrading, because that certain university proxy won't let me grab the upgrade, but then while I am using 17.10 the env variables($http_proxy, etc) are set to that proxy, for some reason. I have not used the proxy since upgrading or during the upgrade. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1730672 Title: Proxy settings not applied system-wide, are not used by Software Update or apt To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1730672/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
