$ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/use_http_proxy -t bool true $ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/host -t string 127.0.0.1 $ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/port -t int 80 $ gconftool -s /system/http_proxy/use_same_proxy -t bool true $ gconf -s /system/proxy/mode -t string manual courtesy of http://wazem.blogspot.com/2008/01/how-to-change-gnome-proxy- settings-on.html -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/759619 Title: banshee cannot access last.fm account To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/banshee/+bug/759619/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
