Hi, I can confirm the problem also happens in the Ubuntu 7.04 and 7.10 with update-manager. The solution is also the one listed at the comment above:
$> export http_proxy="http://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:80" $> sudo update-manager I would like to suggest a possible solution. Maybe, you can put a wrapper shell in order to start update-manager and that shell could extract the parameter from /root/.synaptic/synaptic.conf some variables and set the http_proxy only for the update-manager (or adept-manager) session. Also, this bug seems duplicated with a lot of others. See: bug #173050 bug #162996 bug #115388 bug #109700 bug #21536 Hope this helps. -- adept doesn't work behind a proxy server https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/48682 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Team, which is a direct subscriber. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
