[Bug 783409] Re: Proxy authentication not available to updater
No, I cannot use apt-get behind my proxy at all. I use (and have been using for this four years, i.e. from Ubuntu 7.04 which was the first Ubuntu I used here at my current work on desktop) Synaptic which can handle proxy authentication correctly, except when some package, such as the flash-installer, needs to download some resources during postinst configuration—that doesn't work either and needs to be done manually. Unfortunately Synaptic doesn't know which packages are missing for completing the language support or installing additional drivers after the installation of the system. BTW, I should perhaps add that I have set my proxy and proxy user and password also in my global wgetrc file (in /etc). It works OK when I try to download something under user that doesn't have this set in his local wgetrc, but it still doesn't work for apt-get or postinst resource downloading mentioned above.

[Bug 783409] Re: Proxy authentication not available to updater
Maybe this might help: I've uninstalled 11.04 (personally I think 11.04 is the worst and most user unfriendly version I've met so far, and I've been testing all and using some of the versions since 6.10) and installed 10.04 instead, where not only I do not have this problem, but Synaptic is even able to download resources during postinst configuration. The difference, besides the version of Ubuntu, is that I put in proxy during system installation, at the last or so step: I noticed some Advanced link or button, clicked on it and there was proxy data form there, so I've filled it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783409 Title: Proxy authentication not available to programs using apt -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I am going to change the package. Since all the programs you are referring to use the apt-get system at their base, I am moving it to that package where it will get more views from their maintainers. If they feel necessary, they may choose a more appropriate package within the apt system. ** Package changed: update-manager (Ubuntu) = apt (Ubuntu) ** Changed in: apt (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New ** Summary changed: - Proxy authentication not available to updater + Proxy authentication not available to apt ** Summary changed: - Proxy authentication not available to apt + Proxy authentication not available to programs using apt -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783409 Title: Proxy authentication not available to programs using apt -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks for reporting this. Are you able to install the wanted packages via 'apt-get' by any chance? ** Changed in: update-manager (Ubuntu) Status: New = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/783409 Title: Proxy authentication not available to updater -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
