You've almost certain configured your proxy wrong if you only configure it for your interactive login session. Many processes involved do not run as interactive login commands. See http://superuser.com/questions/183870/difference-between-bashrc-and- bash-profile for a more in-depth treatment.
The right way to set up a proxy is to open your Systems Settings panel, go to Network Settings, and select the Network Proxy pane. Choose the Manual Method and enter your settings there. ** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: Triaged => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1279012 Title: Online search behind proxy does not return results To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/1279012/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
