Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Precise: Fix Released Status in “gnome-control-center” source package in Quantal: Fix Released Bug description: * Impact: the environment proxy settings might end up being incorrectly set * Test Case: Go into system settings => network => Network Proxy => Method => Manual Set a proxy (I chose 'goats' for the http bit, and 8080 as the port. Click on 'apply system wide'. Note that /etc/environment contains 'http_proxy="http://goats:8080";' Then go into system settings => network => Network Proxy => Method => Automatic Set my automatic proxy config URL to my companies wpad.dat. Click on 'apply system wide' Note that /etc/environment still contains 'http_proxy="http://goats:8080";. This ends up hosing specific applications that read the proxy from the environment, instead of from wherever GNOME stores this data. * Regression potential: limited, check that the proxy settings are correctly set and used in both manual and automatic modes Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS Precise gnome-control-center-1:3.4.2-0ubuntu0.8 (from precise-updates) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1100587/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
