Proxy and pacman update

botzoboy · 2011-05-31 18:00:47

Hi

my PROXY: http-proxy.lmkgmbh.de
my PORT: 8080

My problem: I can not use pacman to upgrade and also Pidgin is not connecting. Firefox and Skype are working.

I have readed the wiki page and tryed:

export http_proxy=http://http-proxy.lmkgmbh.de:8080
export HTTP_PROXY=http://http-proxy.lmkgmbh.de:8080
export https_proxy=http://http-proxy.lmkgmbh.de:8080
export HTTPS_PROXY=http://http-proxy.lmkgmbh.de:8080
export ftp_proxy=http://http-proxy.lmkgmbh.de:8080
export FTP_PROXY=http://http-proxy.lmkgmbh.de:8080

without success.
Thanks in advance.

I assume that you're exporting these as a normal user and then using sudo to invoke pacman -- in which case, those environment vars aren't being preserved. If this is the case, I suggest the following: add to your /etc/sudoers:

env_keep http_proxy https_proxy ...

Thanks falconindy, that works. I can now upgrade.

Pidgin has it own proxy settings.

I have already tryed but no success

Try running pidgin from terminal using this command:

pidgin --force-online

seems that this proxy/firewall is blocking all ports used for my accounts (yahoo, IRC, Jabber).
is there a way to use Pidgin in this case??
