Synaptic Problem - Proxie Server

[hugov]

Hi

I am on a proxie server and I get this error:

http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/warty/main/binary-i386/Packages.gz: 407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. )

How can I get it to work? There is no option in Synaptic to enter a username and password.

Thanx

Hello.

Edit /etc/apt/apt.conf as root.. and add something like:

// PROXY SETTINGS
acquire::http::proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";



Enjoy.

create
/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/01acquire

and add in the lines from fdoving post :
acquire::http::proxy "http://username:password@proxy:port";

I have added it exactly as you guys said, but I still get this error:

Err http://archive.ubuntu.com hoary/multiverse Packages
407 Proxy Authentication Required ( The ISA Server requires authorization to fulfill the request. Access to the Web Proxy service is denied. )

Synaptic does not work neither apt-get

I am also runnine Hoary now, will this make a difference? Cause I added it in Hoary.

install and configure tsocks

then use "sudo tsocks apt-get ..."

or
"sudo tsocks synaptic"
