[Solved]Gnome 3 global proxy settings not working

Hi
My laptop runs Arch and I use it at a hostel and University. Both have different proxy settings and I had configured it by using a script (if one can call it that) in {/etc/profile.d/} that exported the correct settings. I had to edit (comment/uncomment) my setting every time I mover my laptop.
I need the setting globally for Chromium to pick it up. Chromium until recently had a problem when accessing the Gnome 3 network (proxy) settings. A new update seem to have fixed this but the problem of picking up the setting remains.
I started up a terminal to see how that global proxy setting in Gnome 3 were shown and found that only the following were set
https_proxy
all_proxy
ftp_proxy
The main one that I need {http_proxy} was not set, even thought I defined it. I think this is an issue with Gnome 3 and was not sure where I should report it. Any solutions will be much appreciated.

I've had issues lately with Gnome 3 and proxy settings. For example, as of today (or sometime this weekend) Firefox is not obeying the system proxy settings (System Settings -> Network -> Proxy). Even better was that today I found that the system proxy settings had "magically" reset to proxy.company.com:8080 (or whatever their default setting is). If I manually set Firefox's proxy settings, it connects just fine. All terminal applications that I use only obey the http_proxy environment variable. Other programs, such as Evolution, seem to not obey the Gnome system proxy settings but only the ones set in GConf (not DConf) (which were also "magically" reset today).

Windows - Use system proxy settings not working as expected

Hi everyone,
I have a bit of an issue that I could use some help with. We currently have remote users that utilize an SSTP VPN connection to access our internal network. Once connected, those users are required to use an internal proxy server to connect to the Internet. The proxy server is Microsoft's TMG and utilized domain authentication.
On our remote Windows clients we have their Internet Options configured to utilize a proxy as follows:
Internet Options -> Connections -> LAN Settings -> No proxy configured at all
Internet Options -> Connections -> Highlight SSTP Connection -> Settings
Use a proxy server for this connection -> IP/Port of Proxy Server
Firefox and Chrome are both configured to use system proxy settings.
Here is my process to demonstrate the issues:
Remote client workstation is rebooted.
With the above configuration just after a reboot, a remote user that is not connected to the VPN can browse the Internet with Internet Explorer, Chrome, and Firefox. None of the browsers prompt for credentials.
A remote VPN connection is then established.
FF is opened and HTTP connections utilize the proxy server. However, HTTPS connections do not use the proxy server, but instead attempt to use the default gateway. FF does not prompt for credentials. FF is closed.
Chrome is opened and can access both HTTP and HTTPS sites without issue. No credential prompt. Chrome is closed.
IE is opened and can access both HTTP and HTTPS sites without issue. No credential prompt. IE is closed.
Here's where it gets weirder...
FF is then reopened. The VPN connection is still up. FF will prompt for credentials. Domain credentials are supplied and FF can now utilize the proxy for both HTTP and HTTPS connections. FF is closed.
VPN is disconnected.
FF is opened and cannot access the Internet as it is still trying to use the proxy server. FF is closed.
IE is opened and can access the Internet. IE is closed.
Chrome is opened and can access the Internet. Chrome is closed.
FF is reopened and can now access the Internet. FF is closed.
In summary, in the above scenario FF acts in an unexpected manner with regards to proxy usage when "use system proxy settings" is applied. However, Firefox begins acting as expected after IE is opened and closed. For example, connect to VPN, open IE, close IE, open FF, and everything works accordingly. Disconnect the VPN, open IE, close IE, open FF and everything works as expected.
Any insight you can provide would be appreciated as it is affecting our FF users and the sooner we can achieve resolution the better. As a note, we've also worked through this issue with WPAD and proxy auto-detect. I've intentionally removed these from the equation to simplify troubleshooting.
Thanks

Quick update. Added to a previously filed bug. Looks like it's assigned now so maybe we'll see a fix for this soon.

"Use system proxy settings" Not working on Mac OS X Snow Leopard

When I change the network location or when I select "Use system proxy settings" on the connetion configuration dialog.
Firefox is not using the proxy defined on the loction set on Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
I usualy change from work to home, at work I've a proxy and at home I don't, and it's a bit annoying to have to change the proxy twice a day. So I tryed this feature, but It's not working for me.
I've tryed also with Firefox 3.6 (I think) and didn't work either.

I run it from eclipse, and on debug mode i checked the value of
java.library.path, and it was ok.
Any way, how can i do what you suggested on mac?It's just a command line argument, but there's no reason to add it if your
java.library.path is ok. One of its componenents must be a directory where
your shared lib is stored, that's all. BTW, the Mac is unix based isn't it?
Shouldn't it be an .so file then? (just a wild guess)
kind regards,
Jos

[Solved] Gnome extension "Hide Top Bar" not working.

I copied the directory found in the zip file I got from the github into /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and ran gnome-shell-extensions-prefs. The extension shows in the menu, but when I select it I get the error message:
Error: Schema org.gnome.shell.extensions.hidetopbar could not be found for extension [email protected]. Please check your installation.
Stack trace:

I checked two things at this point. First, that "org.gnome.shell.extensions.hidetopbar" is indeed present (which it is), and second that my version of Gnome is supported. I have Gnome 3.12, and according to "metadata.json" 3.12 is supported.
[edit] Like an blind idiot I failed to see that README file which says:
Installation:
Compile the gsettings schema by running
mkdir ./schemas/
glib-compile-schemas --strict --targetdir=./schemas/ .
Install this in your extensions directory:
~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
Example:
cd ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/
git clone https://github.com/mlutfy/hidetopbar.git [email protected]
cd [email protected]
mkdir ./schemas/
glib-compile-schemas --strict --targetdir=./schemas/ .
gnome-shell-extension-tool -e [email protected]
However when I followed the istructions I end up with the error
$ glib-compile-schemas --strict --targetdir=./schemas/
You should give exactly one directory name
[edit2] I failed to notice the "." at the end of the "glib-..." line.
ITs working now. Sorry for wasting Forum space.

[SOLVED]Firefox 21 swedish locale settings not working.

Firefox does not recognize my swedish locale settings after updating today. Is it just me or is it a bug? I have "firefox-i18n-sv-se" installed.

It seems to be a bug because the German translation isn't working either.
Installing the xpi file (/usr/lib/firefox/extensions/) manually by dragging it into the addons manager works though.

[SOLVED]GNOME 3.14 user switch not working

Hi everybody, happy new year.
I noticed quite recently that user switching doesn't work on GNOME 3.14 anymore.
I'm using nVidia drivers (343.36 from repo), I don't know if it's the one thing responsible for this, as desktop experience with their driver is becoming quite buggy in recent years.
Does anyone experience the same problem?
(I know it's not a very widely used feature but I got used to share the same computer at home and sometimes it proved to be very useful...)
Thanks in advance.
[Edit] I'm not talking about closing session, but switching between users on the fly...
[Solution] Fixed with nVidia drivers 346.35
=> It's more complicated than that! In fact package nvidia-346.35-2 forced me to create the following file in order to be able to start X:
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nvidia.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia Card"
Driver "nvidia"
VendorName "NVIDIA Corporation"
EndSection
...and it worked with this configuration.
Bug when nvidia-346.35-3 hit the repos, I deleted the config file as it was no more needed to start X, but user switching once more failed to work as intended.
I created this file once again, restarted gdm (and thus X was restarted too), and everything went fine.
I don't know why a minimal config file is needed for user switching when it's not needed for starting X, though... GNOME devs might want to dig this.

Omer666,
This also fixed the problem I was having. The specific steps to reproduce the problem were as follows:
1. Log in as user1. (start some apps)
2. Click Switch User
3. Log in as user2.
4. Log out
5. Log back in as user1.
At this point without the above mentioned fix. user1's session will be restarted (or maybe it was killed when we clicked Switch User).
I'm running the nvidia drivers version 346.35-6.

Server proxy is not working

Hi Experts,
I have a scenario from jdbc to SAP.I have made serverproxy.The proxy was not working.I have test the proxy backend it is working fine,but i am staring jdbc channel the data was not insert in to the database table in sap.I have checked in sxmb_moni in sap r/3 system is showing scuessfully,but data was not sent to proxy.I have put one break point in the code for debugging the proxy.But data was not comming to breakpoint.Kindly help me.
Thanks
Ravi

Hi,
Make sure that you have not done any changes in your XI structure recently otherwise regenerate the proxy and then try agin.
Secondly if you have not done any changes then it's ok. Just one thing, have you used Commit Work just after modifying/inseting the value into database table. If not use this and then try again.
It seems that smoethig went wrong at R3 side because you said data is successful in R3 MONI, so data is reaching to R3 but not going into proxy.
When you kept the break point then were you able to see the debugger screen in R3?
Regards,
Sarvesh

Apple 10.4 managed clients dock settings not working

I have an issues with 3 or 4 of my 10.4 clients all are managed by WGM on an apple 10.5 server. The I have managed dock settings on all apple clients are getting the proper dock settings however I have 3 or 4 clients that are not. The clients that are not getting the dock settings are in the correct computer group. And I don't see any of the clients dedicated in the computer group. And suggestions or tips would be welcome help.

THAT WORKED and all is back to normal.
By the way I did not lose any of the icons on my dock either. All the apps light up under the icon and they now mimimize correctly!!
Thank you very much capfred!!!

Try deleting com.apple.dock.plist from the preference folder located in your user Library.
You can open the hidden library in Finder's menubar, Finder > Go > hold the option key down > select Library.
Edit: you'll have to add back program icons to the dock that you moved there.

Compression settings not working on Premiere Pro CC

I am a freelance editor working for a satellite delivery company. They have specific settings they require for their uplink signals. These setting have worked great on CS5, CS6 and CC2014. However the company is now using CC and these settings create HUGE pixels and the file is unusable. Why do the same settings not work on CC?

[SOLVED] Cinnamon appearance settings not working.

I have a strange problem concerning Cinnamon 2.2.0-1 from [community-testing], in which some appearance settings simply do not work. Specifically, I can't change icons or gtk theme, and making any change in cinnamon-settings has no effect whatsoever on the system. I've tried changing the appearance with lxappearance to some success - now the panel and some Gnome3 applications show the selected theme and icons, but the rest of the applications keep the old appearance settings. I have no .gtkrc files in my home folder and I start Cinnamon from LightDM.
This is the output from running cinnamon-settings from a terminal:

I've got a whole raft of problems with the latest update, which I've listed here.
EDIT: I'm going to wait until these two are updated before I start reporting bugs, purely because it may just be that not all the updates have been pushed at the same time.

[SOLVED] GRUB DEFAULT settings not working

Hi to everyone,
after a system update the default settings for grub is not working. It still booting automatically to first occurrence...
This is what grub-customizer sees:
so I can imagine everything is set ok. What could I check more?
Last edited by Tid91 (2014-03-07 17:58:27)

Hi,
Check /boot/grub/grub.cfg, and in your case you should set:
set default="4"
Take in mind it's zero-based.
Beware, you should be doing this modifying /etc/default/grub and rebuilding your config file with grub-mkconfig; see the wiki for more details on how to do it.

Proxy settings not holding in 10.3.9 on G5's

Hello all,
I have some G5's that were built by another company to their SOE and I am having issues with them not using the proxy settings I have put into network prefs.
We use a proxy server to get to the net and I have put the correct settings in but Software update doesn't work and Safari doesn't either.
Firefox was on the machine also so I put the proxy setting into it (into it's prefs) and it took the setting OK and got to the net.
It's as if the underlying system won't take notice of the proxy settings.
Any ideas guys ?

Problem solved !
