When the "Apply system-wide..." button is pressed, changes are written to /etc/environment. However, this file is written incorrectly because the username/password is omitted. Also there is no no_proxy setting for the ignored hosts.
This is easy to observe. Change the gnome-network-preferences. Press "Apply system-wide". Open a terminal and set | grep proxy; cat /etc/environment to observe the differences. -- Setting the network proxy doesn't change the synaptic proxy settings (gnome-network-preferences) for authenticated proxies https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/300271 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
