Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-applets
In gnome-network-preferences the proxy can be confgured as "Direct internet connection" (i.e. None), "Manual proxy configuration" where the host/port of the proxy server is specified and "Automatic proxy configuration" where an URL pointing to a .pac proxy configuration is specified. If "Automatic proxy configuration" is specified gweather-applet-2 ignores that setting and uses the information provided in "Manual proxy configuration", even if it is disabled. To see this, 1) Change the manual proxy setting to point to an invalid proxy server and restart gweather-applet-2. Now the weather won't update 2) Activate a valid proxy configuration in "Automatic proxy configuration" and restart gweather-applet-2. The weather still won't update 3) Change the Manual configuration to point to a valid proxy server but do not activate it. Keep using the Automatic configuration and restart gweather-applet-2. Now the weather will update using the deactivated Manual proxy configuration rather than the activated automatic proxy. Note the restart of gweather-applet-2 at each step is required because of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-applets/+bug/49736 This is running up to date Feisty/AMD64 ** Affects: gnome-applets (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- weather applet won't use automatic-proxy-configuration https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/153301 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
