RE: Ethernet controller
Hello again.
Glad to be helpful last time.
You should _export_, not only _set_ the http_proxy variable.
When you type:
http_proxy="..."
you set a shell variable, which is only recognized by this shell process.
When you type:
export http_proxy="..."
you export an environment variable, which can then be recognized by
the processes which inherit your shell's environment (like these which are
executed from within this shell).
You should also provide either full URL of your proxy server (i.e. with
domain part) or its IP form - otherwise apt won't be able to resolve your
URL.
Regards,
Adam
