SUDO APT-GET INSTALL command taking wrong IP address

[anirudhtomer]

I am trying to install the JDK for my linux ubuntu 9.10 using the command

sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jdk

it asks me for a my password & then starts installing & then hangs at
0%[Connecting to 10.1.25.3]

the 10.1.25.3 is the PROXY SERVER's IP address at ma office
I use a dial up connection at my home.

I HAVE TRIED EVERYTHING TO MAKE IT WORK but it hangs at 0%

Please help me out

This will help you surelly..

either you have to enter you network settings in synaptic
settings-> preference -> network

enter you proxy detail

or from command line use for apt-get

follow this

If you’re using command-line apt-get

Edit your /etc/bash.bashrc file as root.

Put these line at the end of your /etc/bash.bashrc file :

export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.net:port/
export ftp_proxy=http://username:password@proxyserver.netport/

thanks for the reply UBHI but at home I am not using a proxy connection

& this thing automatically takes the PROXY CONNECTION's IP (of my office 10.1.25.3)
but I want it to update my system properly at home without proxy

My ubuntu system is somehow remembering the PROXY address & trying to download from there

ONE SOLUTION I see is to somehow make the system take new IP of my home which is not PROXY ofcourse...

CAN U SUGGEST ME more solutions

please check /etc/apt/apt.conf and if there is an entry like


acquire::http:: proxy "http://<user>:<pass>@<ip>:<port>";

replace it with


acquire::http:: proxy "false";
