Kubuntu Proxy configuration

Posted by primalcortex on July 9, 2008

Well Adept has trouble working with the KDE proxy configuration when setting it up explicity, by other other words when you define the proxy by setting up the values on Manually specify proxy settings.

Because it doesn’t work quite well, what I’ve done was the following:

sudo bash

and edit the file /etc/environment

I added the following lines:

export http_proxy=http://10.0.0.1:8080

export ftp_proxy=http://10.0.0.2:8080

Saved the file and executed the following command:

source /etc/environment

After this I went to KDE proxy settings and told it to use “Use preset proxy environment variables”

Well it works now…
