Answer 1

Try this:

sudoedit /etc/environment

Paste your network proxy and port from the second line like this:

http_proxy="http://hostname:port"
ftp_proxy="ftp://hostname:port"
https_proxy="https://hostname:port"

This works for the terminal and software center. If you ever want to change the network configuration for the terminal and software center, just edit the file again. The GUI app in settings works for all other software like browsers. Hope you find this helpful
