[Bug 651229] Re: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access
This is still a problem in Ubuntu 13.10. It just keeps trying to connect without success and there is no error message that it can't connect. And when I press stop it's telling me that The software on this computer is up to date. Why is it saying that? It can't know it because it couldn't check it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651229 Title: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/651229/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 651229] Re: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access
** Description changed: - Binary package hint: update-manager - System has internet access via a proxy server with authentication. All info is set in System/Preferences/Network Proxy and applied system wide. Update manager reports a 407 when trying to download. Firefox hasn't any problems using the system defaults. As we all know, synaptic has got its own proxy preferences. That works and this is the only way for updating the system.

[Bug 651229] Re: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access
init_proxy is correctly retrieving the proxy configuration (host, port and user/password if any) and also sets up the proxy for use by urlib2. It also exports the information to the environment (os.putenv(http_proxy,proxy)). Now it comes to /usr/lib/apt/methods/http. This tool is successfully called by Core/MyCache.requiredDownload(). It seems that the exported environment setting is used. Note, that the tool is called diretly this time. Later on, /usr/lib/apt/methods/http is used indirectly via aptd. The problem is, that the process of aptd does not have http_proxy in its environment. i can confim that setting proxy information in /etc/apt/apt.conf resolve the (later) problem. But Ubuntu should be usable without editing conf files. Either gnome-network-properties should also modify /etc/apt/apt.conf (system wide) or update-manager needs to 'tell' aptd the missing info. btw: the comment for function init_proxy suggests that it would first check for http_proxy environment (always wins). But it doesn't or do i miss something? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651229 Title: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 651229] Re: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access
Thank you Aghast for the workaround! I had the same problem with Update Manager but also noticed that: - I had the system wide proxy set - on a shell this resulted in variables all_proxy, ftp_proxy, http_proxy, https_proxy and no_proxy being set and exported - the values are passed to sudo, i.e.: $ sudo echo $http_proxy returns the correct setting - BUT when I try to: $ sudo apt-get update connecting to servers fails! - HOWEVER if I choose to: $ sudo su # apt-get update it works!!? With Aghast's workaround '$ sudo apt-get update' is working OK as well as the Update Manager. -- update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 651229] Re: update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access
I'm having the same problem after upgrading from 10.04 to 10.10. I've made the changes manually in my apt.conf file (It seems to take the proxy settings from the System/Preferences/Network Proxy when you apply it globally, but it doesn't set the authentication details?) However, this doesn't fix the problem. I can now run 'apt-get update' but clicking check in the update-manager still results in the 407 error. -- update manager doesn't use proxy authentication info and gets no internet access https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/651229 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
