i am using maverick .. and when i set proxy settings... Systems > Preference >
Network Proxy..
Set proxy to Manual proxy..
example.... Http proxy: 10.0.2.2 port : 80
select Apply system wide to affect all... this will work already for USC..
it will write a line on /etc/apt/apt.conf
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://10.0.2.2:80";;
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://10.0.2.2:80";;
and so on
but problem is if you have authentication of username and password..
this will not work...because when you apply system wide... it will write still
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://10.0.2.2:80";;
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://10.0.2.2:80";;
with no username password..
this is a bug actually...
it should write
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://michael_c:mriddle12@10.0.2.2:80";;
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://michael_c:mriddle12@10.0.2.2:80";;
with michael_c as my username
and mriddle12 as my password..
as a workaround, edit the line with this format..
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@10.0.2.2:80";;
and click save..and exit..
this will now work on apt-get and Ubuntu software center
I figured it out while searching and noticed it when i compare it with
my two desktop that one have this when i clicked system wide and the
other just for network proxy..
hope this will set changes in the next ubuntu release...
