I would like to install some programs on a computer which uses a proxy
to access to the Internet.
I tried to configure the proxy access but for reason that I do not
understand this does not work.
I can surf the web but not use apt-get
.
I get some errors containing 401 unauthorised
which I do not
understand bu make me think that the proxy is meant to prevent the
type of connection that apt-get
uses.
I mainly want to install emacs. how can this be done simply using a web browser?
apt
uses HTTP, so it's strange that you had trouble. You might want to try again, by either runningexport http_proxy=local.proxy.domain:800
- obviously using the correct server and port - or by addingAcquire::http::proxy "http://local.proxy.domain:800/";
to /etc/apt/apt.conf
