    Linux is a kernel, are you having a problem compiling or something?

    A bit more info might get you better answers..

    No it's a configuration problem.

    I have to use a proxy that requires authentication. Not the end of the world, managed to put it in OK, and Firefox prompts me for the credentials.

    But Update Manager doesn't, neither does apt-get; just fails.

    After I decided to Tether using Wifi through the mobile, then it was a question of removing the bloody proxy, easy in Firefox, but UM was still using it!

    So I deleted the Wired connection and rebooted.

    Problem solved.

    Then of course I found out you can hard code the credentials in apt.conf which solves the problem when I go back.

    I'm installing Nessus for the first time in a long time, so I'm having to brush the cobwebs off, I'm afraid!

    But thanks for responding. I may yet whimper another question....

    The next post may be brought to you by my little bitch Spamdreth

    Why would you reboot? Just restart the network daemon.

    What distro is this on?

    well well harry, not only you are a Win incompetent, but you can't figure out simple shit like a proxy config in Linux ?

    since you seem to be a "Level 1" tech support guy for a corp whose main job is to test "mobile" devices for corporate goons and clean up after the PC when they forgot to update their AV, I am not surprised you failed that one.

    Of course he is, he is running an Ubuntu distro where some XBox kid has included packages which you normally install via apt-get or the software update manager.

    Ultimate Edition is not a distro Harry, it is an edition as the name implies, a "ROM" with more included "Apps".

    Probably par for the course for Mr.Expert - he's confusing the Kernel with the operating system.

    Doesn't provide any further information on the Linux distribution this is on ("Ultimate Edition" - Bwahahaha) and doesn't even know what to look for....

    See, and THIS is why I like Butterfly - and why HarryBarracuda is so useless.

    ^ Considering the vast majority of my servers run on Linux distributions (CentOS), you can bet your maid's outfit that I did.

    "my computer is slow and the HD is full, can I reboot to make it faster ?"

    isn't CentOS one of the worst distribution out there ?

    I met CentOS CEO, he seemed a bit clueless about IT

    ^ Nice try, Butterfly - we have this conversation before, where you've shown to know even less about Linux than you know about Apple.

    Keep ribbing HarryBarracuda - he at least takes you seriously.

    I know a lot more about Apple tech that you could dream of, tardette

    all you know is their specs, price, and how much pretty they are

    Your attempt at explaining Java under Android was a fucking classic,

    ^ doubtful, on all counts - on average, your knowledge is lagging about 10 years behind. Heck, you don't even know stuff *from* 10 years ago.
