Bug Description
The Network Proxy settings available under Settings/Network are not applied system wide. Unlike 16.x, there is no "apply system wide" setting. Setting a proxy here:
- does not modify /etc/environment
- does not set root's http_proxy, https_proxy, ftp_proxy environment variables
This means that apt and Software Updates do not receive the proxy settings, and package checks/
workaround:
sudo http_proxy='http://[username]
etc
affects: | gnome-shell (Ubuntu) → gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) |
Changed in gnome-control-center (Ubuntu): | |
importance: | Undecided → Low |
