Hello
How do I get Adept package manager to respect my KDE proxy settings? I'm running KDE 4.2.2 on Kubuntu 8.10.
Thanks in advance

I think adept does not know about kde proxy settings, only about system proxy settings.

What I've done was on /etc/profile defined the proxy_http and proxy_ftp variables like this:
proxy_http=http://myproxy:8080

And configured kde to use preset proxy variables.

Does Adept work with the proxy after you edit the /etc/profile file? Currently I use apt through the command line after I edited the bash.rc file to include my proxy settings. But Adept still ignores it.

Yes make sure that you include the complete command line on /etc/profile or bash.rc like this:

export proxy_http=http://myproxy:8080

Save and execute the file:

source /etc/profile

or

source .bash.rc

Execute the command:
export | grep proxy

to see if it is correctly set a the environment level.

If you don't use the source command only the environment for the executing script is set.
