I believe this is an actual bug. Running jockey-gtk from System->Administration->Hardware Drivers ignores any proxy setup specified in synaptic, and there is no visible mechanism for setting a proxy in the jockey UI.
A workaround is to have proxy setups in environment variables: (http_proxy, etc.), and then run "sudo jockey-gtk" from the command line. -- restricted driver downloader ignore proxy settings https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373795 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
