Again, what steps did you do to change it back.
If you remember the name or ip address of the proxy, I'd fire up a terminal (Alt+F2, xterm), then
Code:
~$ cd /etc/apt/
/etc/apt$ grep -r 'proxy.college.edu.uk' *
/etc/apt$ grep -ir 'proxy' *
let us know what the output of the two grep commands are. Run "
grep -ir 'proxy' * > ~/grep-output.txt" to store the output in a file (for easier copy-pasting; please use code tags here on the board). You can generalise the use of ">"
please also post the contents of /etc/apt/sources.list
How did I come up with that? I ran "
dpkg -L apt | grep etc"; /etc is normally used for configuration, and apt-get is in the package "apt" (which dlocate or apt-file can tell you). If dpkg -L contains something in /usr/share/gconf/schemas, then there's a good chance you can find some settings with gconf-editor. Look in the file(s) in */gconf/schemas, that usually tells you where in gconf-editor you can find the settings.
