Does anybody know how to go behind the proxy with fedora 19? If I add the proxy= …
Proxy_username=… ,proxy_password=… lines in my yum.conf file it still won’t work
thanks
hi download python-urlgrabber-3.9.1-27.fc19.noarch.rpm (last package form update-testing) and optionally last yum package, this work for me. regard Roberto Freguia
I think you need the following settings if you have a proxy that requires authentication:
proxy=http://yourproxy.yourdomain.com:3128 (or differ
proxyusername=you
proxypassword=yourpasswd
The keys are probably case sensitive. I have used Fedora 19 with an authetnicating proxy successfully with these settings.
As far as I know, the only way of providing proxy information to yum is via yum.conf. Please double check if you've used the correct information. I've used it and it works.
man yum.conf #for details.
Please note that this is only for yum. For the rest, you can use your desktop environment's settings.
Thank for the reply, I find out that if I connect my device immediately to the network and then do the first “yum update “ it works after that. So I didn’t try the python-urlgrabber-3.9.1-27.fc19 solution as mentioned before but it probably can work also. Thanks
What about dnf?

It should work. Could you please add a sample configuration you use (certainly without actual username/password/proxy URL)? What kind of output do you get? You can also put your proxy info into
http_proxyANDhttps_proxyenvironment variables:export http_proxy=http://username@password:proxy.domain.com:portandexport https_proxy=$http_proxyyumdoesn't pick proxy information from the environment variables as far as I know. The only place it takes this info is from theyum.conffile.I have used environment variables with yum in the past. And I tested Yum right now with a fake proxy (e.g. 127.0.0.1:9000 which doesn't exist) and put it into
http_proxyANDhttps_proxyvariables. Now, yum is unable to connect to anywhere. So, it seems that it works. :)i had added the following lines in the yum.conf [without quotes] "proxy=http://myproxyaddress:8080" proxy_username=user proxy_password=passwd
and export the environment variables for http_proxy and https_proxy but i yum is unable to connect and give following error..
