[Jean-Baptiste Lallement]

Ubuntu Precise Desktop 20120416 amd64+mac

TEST CASE:
1. Boot to a live session
2. Set proxy setting in gnome-control-center/Network (I set it to manual and filed the 4 fields)
3. Start ubiquity and install the sytem
4. Reboot to the installed system
5. Check proxy settings

ACTUAL RESULT
Proxy is not set.

EXPECTED RESULT
It should be preserved

[Brian Murray (brian-murray)]

Are wireless network passwords carried over to the installed system?

[Jean-Baptiste Lallement (jibel)]

wireless setting is carried over. The rationale behind keeping proxy settings is that usually the system is used in the same environment that where it is installed. So if a user needs a proxy for installation, he will probably need it after installation.

[Colin Watson (cjwatson)]

I'd prefer to defer any change to this until after 12.04, because there are potentially interesting interactions with things like factory install environments.
