Google chrome (dev) sources.list problem

[ubername]

Yay! Done it!

I had to use the hostname of this machine as the value in the HTTP field

and after some digging, I discovered I needed to add
acl localhost src 127.0.1.1/32
acl to_localhost dst 127.0.1.0/8

to squid.conf

I've certainly overdone it there (I only need 127.0.1.1 I'm sure) and I don't know whether I need both those lines, but I am now not freezing on the google repo when I 'reload' in synaptic!

I take it that Synaptic works now?

You can put the IP of the machine into Synaptic as the HTTP proxy address as well, you don't have to use the hostname.

Happy installing

Yep, I'm happy!

FYI, Google recognizes this as a problem, but "there is no timeframe yet" for fixing it. (Source.)

I have fixed it by creating the file "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90localsettings" with the following content:

Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";

That is cool!

Thanks - much easier than the struggles I had with squid!

[ubername]

I have just used

 echo "Acquire::http::Pipeline-Depth "0";" | sudo tee /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/90localsettings

as a quick way to do this.

I think they have fixed this: I didn't need to create that file on a fresh Ubuntu 10.04 and updates installation doesn't get stalled anymore.
