There isn't a system menu like in Ubuntu, so I can't add it there.
What's the fix/tweak/hack to set it via other means?

Re: Global Proxy In Xubuntu
Saw both those threads earlier today, and did try this:

But it didn't do anything, I can't remember if i rebooted though or not, so will have to check again tomorrow (the machine is at work).Here's what worked for me.
Add the following line to /etc/environment :
Code:
http_proxy="http://user:pw@proxyaddress:port"
Couldn't find that, they must have removed it.Accessories>Appfinder
and Network Proxy is in the list of applications.

Re: Global Proxy In Xubuntu
Well despite those links saying that the export of proxy in the terminal would only be good for the console they were in, it seems that it has applied it system wide and updates and additional programs/packages are now working.
Thanks Matt and Kyle,

Re: Global Proxy In Xubuntu
NP if it doesn't stick after a reboot stick the export http_proxy="http://[proxy]@[port]" in your /etc/rc.local and that command will be run every startup. If it still works after a reboot though just ignore me

Re: Global Proxy In Xubuntu
I'm a dolt...run sudo gnome-network-preferences from the terminal. It even has a GUI
Re: Global Proxy In Xubuntu
Well it didn't stick after the reboot so I had to export the proxy in the terminal then, apt-get install gnome-network-preferences, but that installed and worked a treat.
Thanks Kyle.

Re: Global Proxy In Xubuntu
I know this is a bit late, but perhaps it will help someone with Xubuntu's proxy settings. I'm using 9.10 now.
In order to set a global proxy, you need to edit the following files:
I use mc (Midnight Commander) to do this.
Install mc by using:
Then, sudo mc, to browse to and edit the files.
The first file to edit is:
/etc/apt/apt.conf
You should add a line similar to this one. It depends on your proxy server address.
Acquire::http::Proxy "http://192.168.0.1:3128/";
This will allow synaptic to work properly.
In order for wget to work, you need to edit:
/etc/wgetrc
About 1/3 way down, remove the #s and change
the address to your proxy server address.
# You can set the default proxies for Wget to use for http and ftp.
# They will override the value in the environment.
http_proxy = http://192.168.0.1:3128/
ftp_proxy = http://192.168.0.1:3128/
# If you do not want to use proxy at all, set this to off.
use_proxy = on
I hope this helps!!!
