Bug Description
Binary package hint: synaptic
Hi All,
I dont know why, but there is no solution for this yet !
I connect to internet through Proxy Authentication. I made apt-get to work with this by having the apt.conf at /etc/apt
chaks@chaks-
Acquire:
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "ftp://uname:<email address hidden>";
And my http_proxy and ftp_proxy variables to set too,
http_proxy=http://
ftp_proxy=ftp://uname:<email address hidden>
To even be more safe, I have set the system wide proxy settings in System-
Now, In Synaptic, I have set the Proxy again in the Preferences-
After all these settings change, Synaptic does not work . It fails to download packages or perform Reload and throws error that Proxy Authentication is needed
apt-get works fine.
One weird thing what I found is, If you open synaptic as sudo synaptic it works but not as gksu or gksudo synaptic ! Why is gksu or gksudo does not recognize proxy settings ???
And also I couldnt install any application via Add/Remove Applications as that too reports that authentication is required.
Is there any solution for this ? I know there is a bug associated with this(its with edgy), but there is no solution and thats the reason I have filed again under Feisty.
