update error

[munitech4u]

I am behind a proxy server, so i can't ping external servers.
like if i ping google.com it returns unkown host
therefore when i type apt-get update
i can't connect to the update website. Is there any way to download updates??

Hi,

well, you have to configure the proxy fist

for your terminal session:

HTTP
export http_proxy=hxxp://x.x.x.x:3128

with authentication
export http_proxy=http://user : pass@proxyserver : port
(without spaces, just hate the smilies..)

HTTPS
export http_proxy=hxxps://x.x.x.x:3128


if you need svn through a proxy, edit (go to section http-proxy)
/etc/subversion/servers
