Here's an easy way to reproduce the problem (tested with feisty): 1. Set (fake) proxy information via "System->Preferences->Network proxy". Enter also (fake) authentication data (Button "Details"). 2. Use Alt-F2 to start "gnome-terminal". In that terminal execute the command "echo $http_proxy". 3. Use Alt-F2 to start "gksu gnome-terminal". In that terminal execute the command "echo $http_proxy". The authentication data is now missing.
The problem is, that synaptic is started in the same way... As a workaround clear the authentication data in the "Details" dialog (don't forget to clear the checkbox in that dialog!) and change the proxy domain name in the main dialog from <proxy> to <user>:<password>@<proxy> -- No good proxy conf, for synaptic... https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/56655 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
