Description Oleg Andreych 2011-10-16 10:12:51 UTC

Version:           0.2 (using KDE 4.7.2) 
OS:                Linux

Muon doesn't use proxy setings from systemsettings, but KPackageKit does.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Set proxy settings in systemsettings.
2.Try muon to get updates or install new software or smth. like that.

Actual Results:  
If proxy is the only way to reach repository,the you will be unable to get new software or get updates.

Expected Results:  
I've expected to be able to get software or(and) updates.

OS: Linux (i686) release 3.0.0-12-generic
Compiler: gcc

same issue here
running ubuntu 10.11 
kde 4.7.2

Comment 2 Czerwony Kapturek 2011-12-07 09:35:10 UTC

Same problem.
Makes kubuntu completly unusable at work.

Comment 3 Stephen Hartley 2011-12-17 01:19:07 UTC

Experiencing the same issue here, this is preventing me from using kubuntu in a corporate environment using a proxy for internet access.

Comment 4 Clark Wierda 2012-01-17 21:41:27 UTC

I see the same issue.

I have developed a workaround that works for simple proxies:

I add "export http_proxy=http://<proxy_host>:<proxy_port> ;" in front of the command in the KDE Menu Editor entry for Muon Package Manager.

This works for manual updates.  I haven't investigated the automatic notification/update method and how to apply the workaround there.

Comment 7 David P. 2013-02-12 10:14:34 UTC

I have checked that in KUbuntu 12.10 doesn't work.
I'm using Muon Version 1.4.1.
Any workaround please?

I have tried to use this PPA: ppa:echidnaman/qapt, but no luck.

Comment 9 adrruiz 2015-08-22 00:44:35 UTC

It does not work on Kubuntu 15.04, Muon Versión 5.2.2
