[Bug 56655] Re: No good proxy conf, for synaptic...
Since my test upgrade to hardy, I have a similiar probem with gksudo
*and* normal sudo.
Every application (apt-get, apport, hwdb, ...) startet with (gk)sudo
does not use the proxy and the connection times out. For apt-get I
configured the proxy directly in /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/, but this is not
possible for every program.
For example, I tried to "apport-retrace" a crash report, it begins to work
until it finds a file, which is not part of a package:
sudo apport-retrace -g _usr_bin_php5.1000.crash
[...]

When I explicitly set the proxy, for example with the following command, it
does work:

[Bug 56655] Re: No good proxy conf, for synaptic...
Here's an easy way to reproduce the problem (tested with feisty): 1. Set (fake) proxy information via "System->Preferences->Network proxy". Enter also (fake) authentication data (Button "Details"). 2. Use Alt-F2 to start "gnome-terminal". In that terminal execute the command "echo $http_proxy". 3. Use Alt-F2 to start "gksu gnome-terminal". In that terminal execute the command "echo $http_proxy". The authentication data is now missing. The problem is, that synaptic is started in the same way... As a workaround clear the authentication data in the "Details" dialog (don't forget to clear the checkbox in that dialog!) and change the proxy domain name in the main dialog from to :@ -- No good proxy conf, for synaptic... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56655 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 56655] Re: No good proxy conf, for synaptic...
I can confirm it too. Edgy i386 ran on VirtualBox VM under WinXP. I did some investigation and here are the results: Synaptic works fine when proxy settings are specified in a 'user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' form either in apt.conf or in synaptic gui (prefs -> network). Although it's somewhat confusing, because synaptic doesn't show if it is using settings from apt.conf (prefs -> network set to direct) and all works. It will be better to store settings from gui directly to apt.conf, or to provide a third option 'use proxy settings from apt.conf'. Now I set proxy settings in gnome config (prefs -> network proxy). And this is where the real fun is :) If specified in the form 'user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]', then synaptic works fine! But apt-get fails! Because 'env' says, that var http_proxy is set to 'user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:[EMAIL PROTECTED]'. Now let's start synaptic from the terminal: 'gksu synamptic' - it fails as apt-get. Now I specify 'proxy.com' in gnome network proxy settings (creditentials are specified now only in 'details'). 'env' says, that http_proxy is set to 'user:[EMAIL PROTECTED]' and now apt-get works. But synaptic doesn't (407 proxy auth required)! And when started from term as 'gksu synaptic' - guess what? Of course, it works! :) The real mess, right? But here is more: (don't know - maybe it's better to file it as a new bug) All previos test were done with a login and password generously provided by my collegue. Because I didn't manage to succed with my own creditentials. The reason is that my pwd contains following sequence of characters like '&%f)'. When such pwd is specified in apt.conf nor synaptic, neither apt-get work. When specified as env var all is fine. So, I think, that apt-get (and synaptic) doesn't handle some characters correctly. When specified through apt.conf synaptic even showed (in it's prefs -> network) some ugly special symbol instead of '&%f)' in the middle of my password - as it handled it like a html entity. Hope, that my comments will help you to resolve the problem. -- No good proxy conf, for synaptic... https://launchpad.net/bugs/56655 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this in feisty. Only updating via the console using apt- get works. I have the proxy configured in /etc/apt/apt.conf, in Control Center > Network Proxy, and in Synaptic. Neither the update manager nor Synaptic work. Also can not get Adept (in Kubuntu Feisty) to work either.

[Bug 56655] Re: No good proxy conf, for synaptic...
Same behaviour here. I am behind a firewall that mandates proxy usage. So i cannot use the web without a proxy, and neither can APT. When I activate my network connection this little Synaptic helper pops up in my deskbar saying there are updates available, but cannot download them (nor can it download the changelog information that the application-updater wants to display). I wonder where it gets the info there are updates available, when it can't pass the proxy ... but maybe this helps track the problem. it seems only apps started with admin privileges have this problem. Specifying http_proxy and ftp_proxy in the console and then using 'apt-get update; apt-get upgrade' works fine. (Although I would really like this config to be read from the globale configuration too ... also for Firefox. Why is there not a _single_ place to configure your proxy, or set an automatic proxy? That would really be a plus.)

[Bug 56655] Re: No good proxy conf, for synaptic...
Thanks for your detailed test and the added information. I didn't managed to test/debug the problem yet, sorry for this. It seems like there is a bug in gksu somehow because gksu should export the current gconf proxy information to the applications started via gksu. So if synaptic is started from the system menu, the http_proxy information should be set in the environment of synaptic. I don't know (currently) why this dosn't work for you.

Could you please open a gnome-terminal and run: $ echo http_proxy and attach the result to this bugreport? (and edit the password if it is changed there). How do you start synaptic? Via gksu? Or the gnome-terminal? It should pick up the proxy information from the http_proxy environment.
