I am trying to get wget running behind a proxy. Since Ubuntu didn't support providing authentication information for the proxy (the one in the system settings), I had to use a ntlm proxy (in my case, I use cntlm). In the network settings I have set the proxy to 127.0.0.1:3128, which works fine for Chrome. APT has its own configuration file, where I've also set the proxy to 127.0.0.1:3128.
I have configured the Gnome network Proxy to use my university's proxy. Everything works, including Google Chrome, Firefox, Synaptic, Dropbox. But I am facing problems with the terminal. There are things (like wget) which work and things (like apt-get) which do not. Is there any workaround for this?
Thanks in advance.
Dear All,
I am new to Ubuntu. I am trying to update through command terminal using the following command
sudo apt-get update
But it is showing some problem
W: Failed to fetch http://in.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/...source/Sources 407 Proxy Authentication Required
A list of this kind of message is coming. Can anyone help me please?
Alright, so basically what I need is for the terminal to use a SOCKS (version 4) proxy.

Well,all I ever wanted was to download and install an application from the terminal.
And to my surprise I just can't I tried to reset proxy of the terminal by some commands but it doesn't happen and automatically switches back to this proxy 172.16.0.16 (which apparently was my college proxy). I checked in my system settings too..
I have just installed Fedora 12 and I'm using KDE 4.3.4 as Desktop manager : everything works fine except for the proxy settings. In System Settings, under Network settings I choose "Manually specify the proxy setting", fillin IP and port for the proxy.
I have a HP workstation running Ubuntu 12.04. I have installed likewise and joined it to the corporate domain at my work. I have set the proxy settings in system -> network -> network proxy and applied system wide.

I have tried the following
