Read the article very carefully, I think it explains how to use the new setup nicely (http://www.cc.iitd.ac.in/CSC/index.php? option=com_content&view=article&id=62&Itemid=90) on CSC web site(http://www.cc.iitd.ernet.in/) It explains how to use the new servers for updates...
Hi - this is somewhat incomplete. Thanks to Dr. Shouribrata Chatterjee for his help in suggesting the following, which seems to work for me:
First, set the browser preferences, as mentioned in the CSC page http://www.cc.iitd.ac.in/cgi-bin/proxy.category Then, try to go to any site: it will point you to a proxy login page, where it will have a line: For non-browser Applications (Proxy_Name: proxyzz.iitd.ernet.in Proxy_IP: 10.10.78.zz Proxy_port: xxxx) This gives a clue to the configuration. Now, go to: System->Preferences->Network Proxy Manual proxy configuration Use the same proxy for all protocols 10.10.78.zz, Port: xxxx Apply Sytem-Wide This will ask for the root password twice. Now, go to the browser, and again in the browser preferences: Point it to use the system network proxy For non-browser applications? wget, apt-get and perhaps a few more: Set a environment variable in tcsh: setenv http_proxy 10.10.78.zz:xxxx in bash: set http_proxy=10.10.78.zz:xxxx ********************************************************************* SUMANTRA DUTTA ROY Ph Office: +91 - 11 - 26591084 Department of Electrical Engineering Ph Resid.: +91 - 11 - 26597084 Indian Institute of Technology Delhi Ph MM Lab: +91 - 11 - 26596167 Hauz Khas, New Delhi - 110016, INDIA Facsimile: +91 - 11 - 26581606 http://www.cse.iitd.ac.in/~sumantra/ email: [email protected], Office: II-245, Res: 38 North Avenue [email protected] _____________________________________________________________________ UDYOGINAM PURUSHASIMHAM UPAITI LAKSHMEEH DAIVEN DEYAM ITI KAAPURUSHAAH VADANTI DAIVAM NIHATYA KURU PAURUSHAM AATMASHAKTYAA YATNE KRITE YADI NA SIDHYATI KO ATRA DOSHAH (Favourite Sanskrit Shloka) ********************************************************************* -- l...@iitd - http://tinyurl.com/ycueutm
