If OLPC-AU has been telling their users to set the proxy via GNOME before
that is useful information. Other deployments might have set a proxy in the
build itself?
To confirm, we do tell users to configure their proxy using the GNOME
tool (gnome-network-properties). Switching to GNOME just to do this is
tiresome, so we have a Sugar activity launcher for it. This is a
workaround, and we would prefer a native Sugar CP applet.
Do you think this functionality could be folded into the Network CP UI or are
there a heap of inputs? We could make better use of Network CP horizontal space
regarding text blocks, and gain some vertical space to reduce potential
scrolling overflows for adding an extra field with text description.
I think it could be folded, provided that no features are lost. We
need the entire feature set of gnome-network-properties to be
available, with the possible exception of the Location picker
(although that would be nice too).

Hi Sridhar and Jarry,
can you give a bit of inside on the usage of that Feature in the field?
So far I am clear that you did use the gnome-network section to set the
proxy. To make it easier the option should now be as well available in
the CP in Sugar.
- who does set the proxy for each XO, the learner or an administrator?
- what is the scope of the proxy? does each school has another one, is
it per district, deployment...
- what type of proxy do you set, per url or manually?
Thanks,
Simon
