kpackagekit is not detecting proxy

[rkakkar]

although i'm able to surf, kpackagekit is not detecting my proxy and neither is apt-get. i have set manual proxy settings in 'system settings' any ideas?

Try this thread (http://newyork.ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=8320934)(post by Ajat), It helped me, I had the same issue.

I had authentication issues that I could browse but kpackagekit did not work.

My proxy requires authentication so i just added by user-name in front of it like: on each of the values (ftpProxy,httpProxy,httpsProxy)
username:password@proxy:port

Thkx.

I am using Ubuntu from last 2 years. This time I switched to KUbuntu 9.10 via fresh installation.
My box is behind my campus proxy. So, I configured proxy via NetworkManager. I am able to browse internet. But when I do sudo apt-get update It gives error : 111: Connection Refused.

I tried export http_proxy=campusproxy:port.
But it didnt worked fine for me. Also I tried different server .Still apt-get giving the same error

sudo apt-get update
