I am unable to download packages from synaptic. I am at a school that uses an automatic configuration url with a proxy.pac file. How can I get synaptic to work with this proxy?

How I make the terminal to use the proxy.pac script rather than just proxyconf?
Using Ubuntu 9.10. I got a problem with the wired connection. I managed to fix it more or less. But now after I did about 2 days ago an apt-get update, I can't update through the Update Manager, nor install packages through the Synaptic Package Manager, nor install video drivers anymore. Using the terminal works: apt-get install, apt-get update and apt-get upgrade. I'm using a proxy (I'm connected to the network of my university, which uses a proxy) and a autoconfiguration script *.PAC.
I've never encountered such a problem - to be able to surf or use the terminal, but not the update/synaptic/divers manager. So I looked on the internet and found out that Synaptic has it's own network settings and doesn't care what proxy I've set in the Network Proxy. I don't recall ever having such a problem. I don't recall configuring the network preferences of Synaptic either (I just discovered them ). Another thing worth mentioning - I can use Synaptic and Update Manager ONLY if I run them from the terminal WITH sudo.
Code:
sudo synaptic
and
Code:
sudo update-manager
Only when doing so, the managers are able to connect to the internet. If I run only
Code:
synaptic
and
Code:
update-manager
And after being prompted for administrative privileges I enter the admin's password, they don't connect. So what I think happens is that Synaptic/Update Manager/Drivers Manager use somehow different network configuration than the one set in Network Proxy. Terminal on the other hand takes the proxy-settings directly from Network Proxy. The weird thing is that using terminal to call Synaptic for example make Synaptic accept the Network Proxy's settings. I looked in a couple of threads, where this ~/.bashrc was mentioned and adding export http_proxy="xxxx.yyyyyy.zzz" at the end of the file. But I still can't figure out what to do exactly. It's not a script, it's not something executable.
I am suddenly having problems with synaptic package manager. I go to change the proxy to my uni proxy (under settings>preferences>network) and when I click okay/apply it freezes. I've restarted and tried other things and it doesn't work.

I also used Bootup manager to speed up my boot, but I have enabled any network related services that I can find, to no end.
I use ubuntu 9.10 karmic(x86). I was using a wifi network in my college,for which i used a proxy. Now i'm back home and am using a broadband connection. When i try to install packages via ..synaptic package manager , it pops with an error saying.. it cannot connect to the proxy "172.16.1.5:8080". Yes ,of course it should not be able to,as i am not in that vicinity anymore. I have changed the settings to direct connection in preferereces->network in the synaptic package manager secondly,changed the network proxy settings and applied it system wide. thirdly, I configured the /etc/apt/apt.conf file.. changed it to Acquire::http :: proxy "false"; But, nothing will work, still getting that error.

Its a nice, clean method for finding what hardware your using... you just run lspci cpuinfo make xconfig and put in all the info yourself. So I was thinking: this is exactly the kind of dull, repetitive behavior that computers were made for. Is there a program that can find my hardware info, and make the.config itself, with very little user input?Or should I reinstall debian on another partition and steal the .config from it? Or should I man it up and do it myself?
View 14 Replies View RelatedAfter running a large update and rebooting a few weeks ago, I found that my internet connection had stopped working. My internal network still worked fine though, so it I know it's not the card itself or its configuration. After a bit of trial and error I discovered that simply running dhclient brings the connection up again, so it appears that something is interfering with the initial dhcp update to my ISP (or something like that; I'm no expert in this area. ) My usual policy in cases like this is to wait through two or three updates in the hopes that it's just a temporary problem, but it's been a while now and subsequent updates haven't fixed it.
I've tried looking around, but I can't come up with search criteria specific enough to narrow it down to my specific situation. I'm not even sure where to begin looking to diagnose the problem, nor do I know which package update(s) could've affected it. I'm not sure what might be useful, but here's the relevant entry in /etc/network/interfaces. I have it configured with a static internal address, with my router as the gateway.

I'm rather new to Linux...especially Debian. I've been running Kubuntu for about 1 month now and I wanted to try out Debian as well. So I installed it on a laptop (Downloaded the 6 DVDs). Now, how do I add some repositories to Synaptic so I can update my software? Also, is there a list of repositories? So far, every time I want to install something I need to insert one of the DVDs.

stable-updates isn't even in my sources list. I've purged synaptic, and re-installed but remains broken. When you close error msg synaptic disappears ? Therefore can't use synaptic at all.
(3) apt-get says many packages that were available are no longer available...like one of the main repos has disappeared ?
(4) I put the same repos that are working for my brother who is running Debian Jessie also, but didn't improve the number of missing available packages.

I think I have encountered a problem in the way that lucid handles proxy servers. I was having problems running apt-get update due to a firewall at my work. I also noted that I was getting 403 Forbidden for wget. So I went to System -> Preferences -> Network Proxy from my account (which has administrator privileges) and input the http address for the proxy server, and then clicked the button to "Apply Systemwide...".
Following that change, wget worked from my account, but whenever I tried to sudo apt-get update, I got the 403 forbidden response again, even though I could wget the same files that apt-get reported as forbidden. I figured that this was a problem with the root account, and so I typed
Code:
However, upon exiting from the root account, and trying to run sudo apt-get update again, I got the 403 forbidden code again!
So, it seems that the proxy settings are not being applied systemwide.
I have a debian 8.1.1 server running owncloud and a proxy server at home. I have everything working fine, with one exception. The proxy server won't start on boot. If I ssh into the server, then run "sockd -D" as root, it starts up and runs just fine. Any guides I find refer to the init.d script method that worked in Wheezy, but that isn't working. I think it has to do with Jessie switching to systemd? I had used someone elses script in init.d, and ran update-rc.d, but it still doesn't start.
With Jessie, how can I make "sockd -D" execute on system startup?
