Ubuntu :: Software Center Ignores Proxy Setting?
Apr 24, 2010
Ubuntu 9.10 10.04 "software center" seems like a good idea compared to the previous implementation but it ignores proxy settings under system->preferences->network proxy and system->administration->synaptic package manager->settings->preferences->network.
Other sections of Ubuntu work fine through the proxy e.g. web browsers and using synaptic directly. However sudo apt-get install doesn't work through a terminal on Ubuntu 10.04 beta despite all updates. problem is definitely in Ubuntu as some parts of it recognize the proxy settings and other parts don't. This disconnection appears to be worse in U10.04 compared to U9.10 but earlier distributions (from memory) never had this problem. Is there a "fix" I can use to get Ubuntu 10.04 to recognize the proxy settings across all its features?

However - is there such a thing as a decent HTML editor like dreamweaver? Komposer is buggy as hell - useless! Bluegriffon, well umm - screen fonts are bizarre, especially in viewing source code - brake down, multicoloured obviously a bug - no deb either, looks like a windows program install (?). This does look really good, but is unusable as I cant see in souce code view without getting a headache! Also, ignores css on links.
Seamonkey - you have to open browser then editor, then open your file. Ignores css totally. Amaya - ignores used fonts unless you re-edit - and ignores css on links. Weird way to select things as well, such as images. There must be at least one decent editor?

I have a fresh install of Ubuntu 10.10 i386, desktop edition.Since then I'm unable to install software using Ubuntu software center and update manager because this apps are not using the proxy configuration. I have a proxy with authentication applied system wide. Synaptic has the same configuration and works well. [URL]All other gnome applications are working well except Ubuntu one. It seems it cannot handle proxy authentication. I have other machines without proxy and they work ok. the result of the
Code:
sudo apt-get update

I'm looking for some advice for setting up a media center, which will be hooked up to my flat screen TV. I think I've got most of the technical bits figured out with an Acer with 4 gigs of memory. What I need are some words of wisdom about choices for software and the like:
Is it worth the trouble to install Boxee or XMBC, or to play music and videos using VLC, etc.? I realize I won't be able to stream Netflicks without Boxee, but I haven't decided if that's a breaking point or not. Do I want to connect the computer to the TV screen directly through HDMI, or connect the computer to my receiver, which is already hooked up to the TV? I'm cheap enough to want to take advantage of the receiver, but I'm also wondering if sound quality will be better, since it's connected to my speakers and the TV just has internal speakers. Remote. Do I want to try and figure out how to use one of the several remotes that I currently own, or is it just easier to buy a computer-compatible remote?

I've just finished installing the software on the box. I've made it a dual-boot but want to set the default to Windows XP Media Center so my grandson can work with it. I want to change the boot configuration file but the documentation show working with menu.lst file but I can't find it. How do I make the changes without blowing grub out of the water?

I followed this guide: [URL] and restart the Squid Server with no errors but when I try to SSH into it:
Code:
ssh -L 8080:squidserver:8080 user@squidserver
It just hangs there for a long time, not timing out and eventually (after a long wait) I get this:
Code:
ssh_exchange_identification: Connection closed by remote host
What could be the problem? I can SSH normally into the computer, but not into the proxy server. Do I need to forward the 8080 port on that network?

I used windows OS and installed Ubuntu 10.04 (amd64) in separate partition and works well but had a problem in internet connectivity. Likely reason may be the proxy setting that we used in college (currently). I used this commands to set up the IP address and gateway.
ifconfig -a | grep eth
"eth0"
sudo ifconfig eth0 192.168.5.209 netmask 255.255.255.0
[code]....
Then I manually set the proxy setting of HTTP which is given as proxy server 192.168.5.2 and port as 8000, further more there is a wins setting which is 192.168.1.178, really don't know where to put this number.

I think there is an application which lets you set the proxy settings for all applications. I remember seeing something like this in Gnome's network menu but now I'm using XFCE.

Setting up an Internet proxy In the past I had set a computer to act as an Internet proxy. This would be multihomed, and running dansguardian, tinyproxy and firehol. Then webmin would be used as interface. By time I realised that this system is far from effective. Is there some other way to setup a proxy to be placed between users and the Internet? I would like (the admin) to be able to see in which sites users go and have a lot of control on access..

how to lock down individual users from setting a proxy server. Its a server not a WS so it should never go to the internet. I want to lock down the system side and firefox 5 settings. found this link but its a bit confusing. I want to lock the system and mozilla Locking preferences - MozillaZine Knowledge Base I tired this and put the local-setting.js in and now the firefox wont start at all. "failed to read the configuration file. Please contact your system administrator. well read several sites that all say to do the same thing but they are talking windows and mac so may be i am missing something being Linux...So what I did was create a file called
/usr/lib64/firefox-3.0.12/defaults/profile
more mozilla.txt
//
[code]...
Still get error.this link explains what the setting 0-5 are used for Network.proxy.type - MozillaZine Knowledge Base So i thought this might be a permission issue and did a 777 on the local-setting.js file. Still get the error.

I am playing around with transparent proxies, unfortunately I do not have two machines to test it out with. The current way I am doing things is the program makes a request to a computer on port 80, I use
Code:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 1234 to redirect to my proxy that is listening on port 1234. The proxy will send out a request to port 81 (as all outbound port 80 are being fed back in to the proxy and if it sent out to port 80 it would just be a infinite loop) so I want to do something like
Code:
iptables -t nat -A OUTPUT -p tcp --destination-port 81 -j DNAT --to-destination xxxx:80
The problem lies with the xxxx part. How do I change the destination port without changing changing the destination ip?

I have recently installed tor + vidalia + privoxy on my maverick system. What I was hoping to do was set up transparent routing through tor using the instructions here - [URL] But Ive had no luck with any of the examples given. When Vidalia tries to connect it stops at the point of generating a tor circuit and never gets any further.

im looking at changing the computer systems over to Ubuntu, at a scout campsite im staff at. i have sorted some filtering out with dansguardian.
but how do i limit the powers of users, so remove all the administrative side and most importantly stop a user changing the network proxy setting.
i have used ubuntu before but not for a while, so im a bit of a newbie atm.

I was willing to create proxy in between the web app. and MySQL database so that I can do some modification before sending the query to the DB. But how to grep the query in the middle isn't working in the head yet. I found a tool named 'greensql' which captures the query in the middle but couldn't get how they are doing it.

I have to set up a proxy for my work's network. No computer except the proxy has a direct internet connection. The proxy will NOT be transparent so it authenticates with Active Directory and allows or denies pages. The squid proxy is up, and working accordingly, denying and allowing what's needed to who's needed. BUT! Thunderbird and Outlook didn't work, so in less than 10 minutes I was forced to fall back.
I read googling a lot, and searching a bit here about socks, which seems to be what I need but also that squid is already a socks proxy. Web pages were the concern, it's not needed that other stuff is authenticated, it might as well be transparent for Outlook, Thunderbird and other programs *for example, it's not needed to block a Warcraft III game, though, allowing it explicitly is not the point either* but as of now, none can connect *haven't actually tried Warcraft though, but stuff like Adobe's updater didn't work either and I recall someone mentioned Windows Live messenger didn't either* The Squid Proxy is a CentOS.

I am trying to install a router on my CentOS 5 box, while i have properly configured IP address, Subnet, Default GW and DNS, I am at the point of trying to set up the Proxy.

I got a problem about network proxy setting. With the graphics setting interface, I set auto proxy with the URL address but it is weird that the setting only work with eth1(wireless), doesn't work with etho(wired). however my wireless driver is always a problem for Linux. i also tried export http_proxy= XXXXX:8080 it still doesn't work at all.

i must make this work with the use of virtual pc's. I have vm player and installed fedora ( the latest version ) and one xp . So i have 2 virtual pc's. I'm making it simple for start so i can add more pc's when i see that it is working. I have setup a dhcp server at the fedora virtual pc. The fedora virtual pc is like a soho router. The xp pc is getting ip from dhcp while the fedora one has a static one.
My pc is behind an adsl router. Both virtual pc's can see each other which means i have no connectivity issues.Im trying to setup a squid proxy ( transparent one ) so for example the xp pc can access porn sites and such. I used all required configuration for the squid to work and started the service. Ive also inserted with iptables the commands to forward all incoming port 80 packets to port 3128 ( the squid ). It doesnt seems to be working and i thik i know why but i dont know how to fix it.
Because the xp has a gateway at 192.168.1.1 ( the adsl router ) packets go directly to it and not to the soho router ( fedora virtual pc as i intend to do) What can i do to solve this problem ? How can i forward all packets to go to the fedora virtual pc first and then the fedora pc to forward them (if necessary) to the adsl router? PS. I used Bridged connection on the networking configutration on the vmware player ! If you also want i can post the code for squid or iptables if needed !

Today I noticed, that despite a 1kb/s limit upload being set i was seeding at an unlimited bandwidth, it had been running for 3 hours wasting about 300mb.
I had never seen this before, however 10gb mysteriously disappeared from my 25 quota last month as i dont mind seeding things at 1kb to help people get the missing bits. My 25gb costs me $100 with the larger package being $160 so i dont have much choice but to be stingy.

I got Apache and php5. I was able to insert php scripts from tutorial and see the results in Mozilla browser. But now something happened and Apache seems to ignore php script. I don't remember what i had done to my system that might have caused this problem, but most likely it is moving partitions in partition aditor, as this was the most serious thing I had undertaken.

I have my default text files (also source codes etc.) associated with gedit (checked with ubuntu tweak).However, nautilus tries it to open with some "notepad" - dunno what it is I don't even have such a program. Files are OK, opening them directly from gedit or vim is fine.Some weird things:- nautilus correctly displays gedit icon- I have dualboot system with windows 7 and notepad command looks like it came from "there"- when I click on open with -> gedit, file is correctly open. However this option is not remembered by nautilus (even though I checked it as always open with ...)- nautilus (after clicking on open with) also suggest to use some "iexplore" command, I totally don't have idea where that came from Any suggestions? I really don't feel like using another file manager, but opening text files is pretty elementeray action and should work properly

I've just updated to 11.04, switched into the classic desktop (Unity? just say NO), disabled overlay scrollbar, and still I'm confused.
I customized the appearance preferences of my desktop to change the appearances of the widgets. I selected "Clearlooks" but most applications just ignore the preference. Here I attached a screenshot:
While the buttons in "Appearance Preferences" are round-shaped, the buttons in "Network proxy" window are square (probably it's from "Redmond" theme?)
As far as I checked, only the "Appearance Preferences" obeys the setting. Other preferences (e.g. fonts, colors, icons) are ignored too.
