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.
View 1 RepliesI have two major issues, and one minor one, after I started using Ubuntu, I tried searching the forum for them, but couldn't find anything relevant to my problems.First issue: Screenshots and the cursor.This is probably a very easily fixed issue, but none-the-less, I can not figure it out.How do I NOT include the cursor in my screenshots on Ubuntu 9.10?What I do is, I press the Prt Scrn button, and my cursor is always there in the image, and I don't want that.Second is pidgin.I love it, but every time I boot it up, my friendly name is reverted back to firefoxfag.I think it has something to do with me using gmail for msn, but I'm not sure...Also, as a last very small issue, the global hotkeys on audacious don't respond unless i open preferences, open settings for global hotkeys, then close down the settings..
View 4 Replies View RelatedI installed openSuse 11.4 (KDE). It was excellent - everything was working great except for Subversion which use to work fine on 11.3 (command line is broken on 11.4, Eclipse/Subclipse works fine on both).
Subversion kept going to the proxy server instead of going directly to our internal Subversion server. I tried (1.) setting the proxy settings in Yast with excluding for our Subversion server, (2.) tried adding the usual settings in ~/.subversion/servers (which worked fine in 11.3). I could not check out on the command line from the local server, I can check out from external servers, eg: Google.
(I installed from the live CD download. I think this is using something some plasma widget thing for the network management.) Why is Subversion not using the usual ~/.subversion/servers file for its settings in 11.4 (KDE)? What is it using and how can I make it not use the proxy server? (Someone else mentioned his Subversion only started working after he used some Chrome plug-in to change the proxy settings but had no idea why?)
If I configure my OpenSuSE 11.2 system to use a proxy server in the YaST Proxy module, do I still need to configure my browser (i.e Firefox) to use these proxy settings, or is it done automatically under the covers?

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.

SPM has just two options 1. Direct connection(no proxy) to internet and 2.manual proxybut my firefox cannot connect to internet with no proxy, It can connect to internet only on auto-detect proxy settings option.Right now my SPM is not working. I can ping the SPM server from my console but apt-get is not working

I wonder if GNOME have this very cool shortcut feature where, no matter if it is a GNOME-bundled application or a third-party, you can open up the settings/edit/configuration for that particular app by pressing a keyboard combination?
Mac OS X has it in the form of Cmd+, and KDE also has it, although I dont remember what the default is for that. Does our beloved GNOME have it? It would be so rat if it does, or if it is possibly to enable.
I'm new to Linux. I'm running openSUSE 11.3 with both the Gnome and KDE desktops installed, but so far I'm only using Gnome. I was looking for a way to assign sound volume increase/decrease to some keyboard keys instead of having to click on the speaker icon at the bottom of the screen. I found what I included in the Title of this message. Under the Global Keyboard Shortcuts was an item for each increase and decrease sound volume. These were set to (I believe) meta+ and meta-, respectively.
I changed them to F12 and F11, respectively (to match my Apple keyboard). After the changes, I started a game which takes over the entire screen (which is why I wanted to assign the volume to keys in the first place) to see if the changes worked. They did not! So, I tried to go back and change them to something else and now I can't even access Global Keyboard Shortcuts at all. I keep getting the following error:
Sorry - System Settings
Failed to contact the KDE global shortcuts daemon
Message: Could not get owner of name 'org.kde.kglobalaccel': no such name
Error: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NameHasNoOwner
What's up and how do I recover from this (if I even care)? Also, how do I assign volume increase/decrease to keys?

View 2 Replies View RelatedI installed amarok in ubuntu karmic, I had to set the proxy settings for wikipedia and lyrics plugin to work , for that I had to edit the file .kde/share/config/kioslaverc , but now the problem is , that lyrics aren't being displayed although wikipedia and photos for the artist are being displayed. Whenever it starts playing a song, it just shows the usual message "lyrics are being fetched" for a couple of seconds and then nothing is displayed, I don't think anything is wrong with my proxy settings as wikipedia and photos plugin are working fine. Do I need some kde dependency for lyrics to work ?

I set the system-wide proxy settings and they seem to work for most part except not on Google Chrome and Opera. Firefox works fine though flash is never detected. I get a 105 "NAME NOT RESOLVED" error on Chrome.

I just can't set any proxy settings in Gnome 3 Network settings. Is it a bug or...?
I installed Ubuntu 11.04 and then used a PPA to install Gnome 3. Some other "problem" is I can't set single click opening of folders...
is there anyway for me to dl a proxy or use a proxy on ubuntu? other than the web based ones. i looked into using system->preferences->network proxy, but that stuff went way over my head. can someone explain this to me? how would i go about setting up a proxy for the web and using it effectively?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI have a server that i built as 9.10 Ubuntu a while ago. It's been running through a proxy server that i set as an export in /etc/profile. Recently i upgraded it to 10.04 Ubuntu.
Now i want to get rid of the proxy server. I removed the export in /etc/profile. I've tried restarting the network services, reloading the profile, rebooting the machine, setting a blank export, and a few other things...but it's still using the proxy!
I've tried grepping various folders but the only other place i can find a proxy setting is in the apt config (which i don't think would matter?).
I installed DansGuardian. In order for it to work I set the system wide proxy. However it is really easy to get around DansGuardian by going to preference proxy setting. How do I password protect this setting so it requires a password to change proxy setting? Preferably a different password than the normal sudo password if possible. If not I at least want the sudo password protecting it! I run multiple browsers so doing it via the system rather than the browser made the most since.

I do not understand why firefox does not honor these settings.

I have recently installed chromium in my ubuntu 10.04.
I am facing a problem. Chromium always takes the system proxy settings, and if I change the settings for chromium then system settings change too..
I want to use different proxies in the two places.
I'm trying to use Kubuntu 10.04 in a corporate environment. Our environment uses an internet proxy that requires a username and password.Under Ubuntu 10.04, I can use the GUI to set the proxy host, port, username and password. When I do this, all the web browsers work, Snyaptic works, etc.However, under Kubuntu 10.04, the GUI lets me specify a proxy host and port, but doesn't appear to save the username and password. Because of this, I have to manually set the proxy information on my web browser, but the package managers don't work because they can't access the internet. Apparently the ability to specify proxy username and password is either broken or unfinished.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI need to enter credentials for a system wide proxy, on a fresh install of Kubuntu 10.04. Everything hunky dory, but: Network Settings->Proxy->Authorization has 'username:' and 'password' grayed out all the time; even at 'Manually specify ...'. The only 'alternative' (not to chose from) is 'Prompt as needed'. But I don't get any prompt, and so I'm out of luck. To me, this looks like a bug. Because one should be able to enter a username and a password there, for good.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI 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?
how do i get yum, KPackageManager to use System Proxy Settings for there network access ? by proxy i mean it's a program that uses my phone as the proxy.here is the command adb forward tcp:8080 tcp:8080
now i got it to work for firefox like this localhost 8080 for all protocols.did the same in KDE proxy settings localhost 8080 for all protocols..just need to know hot to configure yum and kPackageManage
to use it as well?
An application that supports SOCKS 5 protocol can forward its network connection over ssh and dynamically forward to any host name that you specify isn't it ? that means firebox web browser can use SOCKS 5 protocol can be used by pass proxy settings isn't it ? so how can a sys admin remotely detect if a particular user is bypassing proxy settings using SOCKS 5 protocol ?
