@ginggs I just reapplied the settings system wide using the graphical user interface and it fixed it, thanks. The reason I edited /etc/environment by hand and did not use the GUI in the first place is that it does not allow to declare exceptions (the 'no_proxy' variable). Here are the logs (Note

No luck. Both commands hang at the download. However, I have discovered that the problem is not with finding the proxy settings (which are found correctly -- it may not even be necessary to explicitly set the proxies from the environment; this seems to be urllib's default behaviour). The script d
