[17:03] <tarpman> hi, could bug 462379 please be re-opened? it's not fixed.
[17:04] <xnox> tarpman: how do you define proxy setting?
[17:05] <tarpman> xnox: preseed: ubiquity mirror/http/proxy string http://10.0.2.9:3142/
[17:05] <tarpman> sorry, should have mentioned that on the bug
[17:05] <xnox> tarpman: language packs i think are not downloaded by the target, but rather the live session, thus proxy settings need to be in e.g. network-manager / indicator-network.
[17:06] <tarpman> xnox: makes sense. do you know off the top of your head if there is a preseed for that? something that casper would look for
[17:07] <xnox> oh and change by hnoseer is clearly bogus (karma zero who hopefully got removed)
[17:08] <xnox> tarpman: you could try on the boot / kernel cmdline to do HTTP_PROXY=.... which would then be exported as a global environment variable.
[17:08] <xnox> that's very crude hammer, but at least would verify the theory quickly.
[17:08]  * tarpman tries
[17:12] <tarpman> xnox: no such luck, HTTP_PROXY= or http_proxy= isn't picked up in the live environment (but is there in /proc/cmdline)
[17:13]  * tarpman sets up proxy in n-m and tries installing
[17:15] <xnox> tarpman: if setting up in n-m / via indicator-network does not work.... then please open a new bug against ubiquity.
[17:15] <xnox> tarpman: you may reference that previous one, but a new one would be preffered.
[17:17] <tarpman> xnox: hmm, it's not a general http proxy though, only an apt-cacher-ng. sure, can file a new bug and discuss there. thanks
[17:18] <xnox> tarpman: the other alternative is to preceed no to downloading language packs, then it will be promted to install on first login.
[17:24] <tarpman> xnox: good suggestion. thanks
