The Ubuntu 11.10 has only simple proxy configuration. Where is the authentication option? so it can be used to download packages?

Try specifying the proxy address as username:password@address

From reading the upstream bug about this, it looks to be possible, but requires you to enter the host in the form of username:password@host in the network proxy dialog.

    What if the password itself contains ":"? Do I need to escape it then?
