Hello, I solved the problem by opening the proxy setting window in the preference menu, ensuring the setting is "direct connection" and clicking on the button to apply the setting to all the system (I am working in french version so I don't have the exact button label in english).
Before: $ gconftool -a /system/http_proxy use_authentication = false authentication_password = authentication_user = ignore_hosts = [localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local] use_http_proxy = true port = 8080 use_same_proxy = false host = After: $ gconftool -a /system/http_proxy use_authentication = false authentication_password = authentication_user = ignore_hosts = [localhost,127.0.0.0/8,*.local] use_http_proxy = false port = 8080 use_same_proxy = false host = As you can see it changed the use_http_proxy to false. You may as well use gconf-editor for the job. Hope this help.
