When changing proxy settings in the network configuration proxy are not change for system neither for firefox (using system settings) neither for synaptic or update manager.

Please fix it as obviously many people still have to use proxy...

What version of linux mint are you using? I've tried this today and couldn't reproduce the bug on Linuxmint 12 standard release.

This bug report seems to be valid at LM 17.1. Proxy settings do not work as expected, Firefox still asks for proxy server's credentials.

Using Linux Mint 18.

From NetworkManager I have set proxy method to automatic with the correct url to pac-file.

I can browse the Internet fine with Firefox and Chromium.
I cannot however use the Update Manager or the Software Manager or select best mirror from Software Sources.

If I set the Acquire-prperties to the correct urls (read from the pac-file) in /etc/apt/apt.conf/00my-proxy I can install new software with Software Manager. I still cannot use the Update Manager or select the fastest mirror in Software Sources.

I have to additionally set http_proxy, https_proxy (and ftp_proxy) variables in env.

AND I have to set:
Defaults env_keep += "http_proxy https_proxy ftp_proxy auto_proxy"
Defaults env_keep += "DISPLAY XAUTHORITY"

in /etc/sudoers.d/my-proxy in order to be able to use Update Manager or Software Sources.

I my opinion just setting the proxy in single place (the NetworkManager) should be enough. Is there any way to make it work like that? Or is there a reason for updates and installs to not read the proxy settings from NetworkManagers settings?
