Hi,
I have a server that i built as 9.10 Ubuntu a while ago. It's been running through a proxy server that i set as an export in /etc/profile. Recently i upgraded it to 10.04 Ubuntu.

Now i want to get rid of the proxy server. I removed the export in /etc/profile. I've tried restarting the network services, reloading the profile, rebooting the machine, setting a blank export, and a few other things...but it's still using the proxy!

I've tried grepping various folders but the only other place i can find a proxy setting is in the apt config (which i don't think would matter?). What am i missing?
TIA!

Are you saying http_proxy / ftp_proxy are being set somewhere? Did you check the various bash(1) startup files (~/.bash_profile, ~/.bash_login, ~/.profile, plus anything they source in)?

As a kludge you could unset them in ~/.bash_profile:

Yeah, that's exactly it. I've checked through all the startup files and found nothing. I tried "unset", but it also didn't work. I was wondering if there is some kind of system-wide variable being set somewhere that i can't find? (Perhaps they changed something in 10.04 Ubuntu?)
