Question: How  to install or update packages behind a proxy Server in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerkat?

Answer :

Open terminal and add the following lines to /etc/apt/apt.conf.

gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf

And add these 2 line :

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://user:pass@proxy-host:port/";
 

If  you are not  using a proxy with  password, then add the following lines instead.

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://proxy-host:port/";
Acquire::ftp::Proxy "http://proxy-host:port/";

save  and exit

Now you should be able to install packages and update your maverick meerkat behind a proxy. This  method has been  tested  on  Ubuntu 10.04  and  10.10 and works  fine.

    For those of you using xubuntu or any other linux that does not have an /etc/apt/apt.conf, create it with sudo mousepad /etc/apt/apt.conf. Substitute whatever you want for an editor. Mousepad just happened to be what I had.

I tried it and it works with a regular zip file, but if you password-protect the .zip file it does NOT work.

After install as above, run shell script /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh manually and note lib errors still occur. I had the x64 motif loaded but had to manually install the x86 too. Got that from http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/search.php?query=libXm.so.4 Even after that, I still had to do a “yum install alsa-lib.i686 alsa-lib.x86_64″ to resolve any additional libasound.so.2 errors. Once those two lib issues were resolved, Citix Web Interface launched apps fine by telling browser to open launch.ica using /opt/Citrix/ICAClient/wfica.sh. Good luck Ernesto!
