Installing Software From Behind A Proxy
After reading this article in eWeek I have decided to give Ubuntu a fair shake. I have come over from Suse where I started in v9 and I like the lack of bloatedness that this distro represents.
The product installed and functions flawlessly on my laptop which is an old Compaq Armada E500. However, at work i seem to be unable to install software and when I run update manager i am told there are no updates available even though i know this to be untrue. I have configured the network proxy and I am able to surf just fine, but i cannot install new software or updates. At first I thought I missed something in Samba, but I can hit the M$ Windows resources just fine. Please give me a shove in the right direction if you know what I should check. I am running Ubuntu 5.10 on a 2.8GHz P4-HT, 1GB RAM, 48GB SCSI Disk. The computer is a branded Dell Optiplex GX210. I receive the following error: W: Couldn't stat source package list http://archive.ubuntu.com breezy/universe Packages (/var/lib/apt/lists/archive.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_breezy_universe_binary-i386_Packages) - stat (2 No such file or directory) Thanks! |
OK, I dug a lil deeper and realised that Synaptic also requires manual proxy configuration. However, there is no place for username & password. Sorry folks but I do not know to to include this in the address under linux. Once I know how ... here comes the updates. Please help. Thanks

your problem is that you want to bypass MSproxy or MSISA server, which understand only NTLM.
the choise : - include a socks client in your ubuntu (many exist) - use NTLM Authorization server : some script uses python libray to emulate NTLM. it act like a gatway on a linux box to by pass proxy |

for the home application, you need to use VPN, other wise inside the proxy you see your home, but at your home, how do know the ip of box inside ? solution openvpn across a httptunnel across a SSH.
i studie it at this moment : we are a MSproxy inside a firewall, that i don't know for moment. from inside to outside, all work well, i can connect to my home and see all i shared. but from my home, the firewall bloc my sends from home. |
