My machine is situated behind a Proxy (not sure what type, accessible via http, no user credentials required) which is automatically configured.
I'm connected to the internet but only firefox seems to be able to resolve URLs. APT does not.
So it seems like the proxy lets firefox resolve names but not other apps? Is it possible to somehow configure apt to circumvent this limitation?
When I enter the IP address of de.archive.ubuntu.com manually in the sources.list, I get an "no route to host" error.
As of now, the proxy server is configured with Ubuntus network settings gui.
Ouptut of apt:
