Bug 228597

which libattica version do you have installed?

hi,
I'm using version 0.1.2 release 2.1

Could you please attach the debug output of running "khotnewstuff4 wallpaper.knsrc" in a shell?
Thanks!

Sorry it took so long:

Here is the output:

I've upgraded to KDE 4.4.2 release 241.
libattica is now 0.1.2 release 3.1.

Behaviour is still the same (not working)

Hi, this bug is still present in openSUSE 11.3 (KDE 4.4.4 release 2)

you ll never guess what corrects the problem. Maybe there is a better solution somewhere.
My systems are based mostly on OpenSUSE 12.2. You have to define the proxy in at least two separate places: Yast and Desktop Configuration.
However it 's not enough for the internet access to "get hot new stuff". You have to update the proxy setting for that too somehow. The way I got it to work is this: Open a konqueror window, go to settings-> proxy. Go to manual settings and configure one there (one that works).
If there is already one configured, change to something else, then apply then go back there again and change it again on something that works. Voila! Now you can download stuff after the initial certificate exchange has completed. 
I can't say I feel much smarter about how I resolved this but maybe someone will pick this up and find exactly where it should be updated because I couldn't find it in any file..

Qt: 4.8.7
KDE: 4.14.30
KHotNewStuff: 0.4
libattica 5.35.0 (on Ubuntu: libkf5attica5-5.35.0-0ubuntu1~ubuntu17.04~ppa1)

Proxy settings are still not respected, it tries to connect to "download.kde.org" directly (checked with wireshark).

Workaround in comment 8 doesn't work, Konqueror 16.12.3 does not have a "Proxy settings". I assume systemsettings' Proxy settings is the one that should be used.
