Hi I installed kubuntu dapper on a machine. All went fine. After changing the proxy variable into http_proxy="blafasel:8080" , apt refuses to work with the "excuse": Failed to fetch blabla/sources.gz Cannot initialize the connection to 8080:80 (0.0.31.144) . - connect (22 Invalid argument). Why does it interpret the variable wrong? The variable is only taken after the : Can anybody help me?
