I am running into the same issue. There should be one proxy setting system-wide. Also the system-wide proxy settings doesn't include an ignore list, a definite necessity when behind a proxy.
I think in addition, the system proxy manager (in 10.04 if memory serves, had the ability to store settings for multiple locations. Useful as I work in three locations each with different proxy settings) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/545134 Title: Ubuntu Software Centre can not install packages behind authenticated http proxies when the user does not click on "apply systemwide" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/empathy/+bug/545134/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
