This is not an ubuntu specific issue but a general GNOME one which also happens with every other distro
Even if gnome defaults to "direct connection" there's still the 8080 in the port field which is a BUG!!!! but theres enough information given by me and others and nobody seems to care :( -- Cannot download fonts, "Error parsing proxy URL http://:8080/" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274421 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
