Proxy settings
Posted: 13 Dec 2013, 06:27
I need to use porteus on my university network and need to run all network through a proxy!
1. I found no proxy setting gui in KDE4 or XFCE.
2. Even after manually using "export http_proxy" , the global variables arent being set. The export seems to work only for that bash session.
3. So i tried to put the export command as a boot time script using a) the porteus startup script manager that stores it in /etc/rc4.d/Startup.sh
b) manually making a startup script at /etc/profile.d/
Both these work arounds failed to load me proxy settings!.
While i was able to run google chrome using the command line option --proxy-server, I couldn't get PPM to work though a few posts on the forum pointed the use of the export command and success with it..
I found Porteus Amazing and have a lot of use for it, but this particular issue is almost stopping me from using it :/
Help is appreciatd!
Thanks a lot
