KPackagekit + proxy settings

[tomarctus]

Hi!

I have some strange problems with KPackagekit, and apt-get. The problem is simple, but I don't know what to do with it. >.< I have switched my proxy settings a week ago, the strange thing is that KPackageKit still uses these preferences after I have switched back it to direct connection to internet.... >.>
I know this only because I have switched my proxy preferences to http://0:3333, but still direct connection is selected, and as I try to update, he tells me that http://0:3333 refused the connection....... -.-"
And 1 more thing: aptitude works still fine.

Any suggestions?

try just deleting the proxy address in the settings and ignoreing the error message that it gives when you press ok

Did you modified the /etc/apt/apt.conf?


I also experience the same thing.. i can update the sources.list via Kpackagekit (clicking reload).. and it download the packages smoothly.. BUT, if i use it to download a selected package.. it's failed to download any package (it say unable to connect to 152.118.24.10:8080 which is my university proxy address.)
not i'm stick with apt-get method

Restoring the apt.conf (let it blank) does NOT fix this ..


any ideas?

No i was refering to the proxy settings in the kde System Settings > Networking > Proxy under the setup button for Manual if you have changed those.

do you have gnome installed? i try aptitude from gnome but it uses proxy..

i've checked with echo http_proxy

[Ajat]

I solved it.. since the gnome doing fine.. the problem is inside the kde.. it's actually


sudo kate .kde/share/config/kioslaverc

change it to look like below



PersistentProxyConnection=false

[$Version]
update_info=kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r1,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r2,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r3

[Notification Messages]

[Proxy Settings]
AuthMode=0
NoProxyFor=
Proxy Config Script=
ProxyType=0
ReversedException=false
ftpProxy=
httpProxy=
httpsProxy=

@Ajat:

Thanks so much dude, that's been a nuisance for me. Weird that this file doesn't get reset even after changing the kde proxy settings.
