My friend Mustafa talked about adding proxy as environment variable by exporting the http proxy server in a previous post.
I another problem,found what about a proxy server that needs authentication ? There is no problem if the application read the Gnome/KDE proxy settings because you can add the authentication parameters easily there, the problem comes from wget and other terminal based programs…

To configure the proxy on terminal and be able to use apt-get just do this :
sudo gedit /etc/bash.bashrc
add this line with your “proxy_ip” and “port_number” at the end of the file :
export http_proxy=http://"proxy_ip":"port_number"/
for sure you can do the same to export your other protocols proxies.

ENJOY!
