I am getting various 401 auth errors when trying to sudo apt-get update. I am connected to my corp vpn and have an SSH into my Ubuntu machine.

How can I authenticate using my network login/pw to complete 1) apt-get update and 2) updates to a newer dist?

W: Failed to fetch http://ca.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/oneiric-security/multiverse/source/Sources 401 Authorization Required [IP: 91.189.92.200 80]

E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead.

  • You are behind a proxy. You question has been answered here. You'll also find more information in the AptGet Howto.

  • Sorry, what if I don't know the proxy address/port? All I know is I am connected to VPN. Is there an easy way to find the proxy URL and ports?
