Description Ali 2005-11-28 04:54:39 UTC

Version:           1 (using KDE KDE 3.4.3)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I have installed Kubuntu 5.1 on several machines adept works fine at home with router and direct connection to the internet.
adept does not work in corporate environment, there is a proxy server using port: 8080 for all the protocols. The same machine (a notebook) is working perfectly fine at home but is crippled on the job.

I can surf the net and download files but can’t install apps or fetch updates. adept displays only the installed apps.
This is not unique to one machine only I have installed on
1-	HP Evo desktop
2-	HP Proliant DL320
3-	HP Proliant ML150
4-	Compaq M700 Notebook with the same result

Please add the possibility to use a different port or the same port as konqueror
If possible an ftp site would be better (for resources)

Adept is currently using the apt proxy settings (i believe environment variables should work to select proxy, if no, then apt configuration file). I will try to make it respect kde proxy settings; please use the above workaround in the meantime (man apt.conf will tell you how to set up the proxy for apt).

Moving to 3.0 milestone.

This doesn´t work in Kubuntu 6.06. Will it be implemented for future versions?

Comment 5 Claus Irion 2006-09-23 12:28:26 UTC

Hallo,

i use a Linux-Firewall (iptables with FWBuilder) and Squid-Proxy with Authentification betwean my Linux (KUBUNTU) / Windows -Workstation and Internet-connection.

Proxy in /etc/apt/apt.conf doesn't work.
Setting global variable ( HTTP_PROXY=http://account:password@192.168.2.10:8080 and FTP_PROXY= ...) doesnt work with ADEPT, it works with KONQUEROR and Firefox.

Have I made something wrong or ist Proxy with authentification not supportet by Ubuntu/kubuntu ?

This is still a problem with Kubuntu 7.10
My work around is to start adept_manager from the commandline like this

~$ export http_proxy=http://<proxy host>:<port>
~$ kdesu adept_manager

Yes, yes... let's say 3.1. 3.0 is a substantial rewrite that needs to be gotten out of the door -- the sooner, the better.

Adept has been in the unmaintained state for a few years.  Use muon[1] as replacement .
