I have the proxy servers set for both http and ftp, and I get absolutely no error messages when using gnorpm from the menu, however, when I use it from the command line, I at least get some messages, however, it doesn't ask me for the root password which is an odd inconsistency that isn't exactly a bug, but should probably be changed - gnorpm itself should query for the root password and not use a wrapper script, which would also allow users to install an rpm by right clicking it from gmc - instead of logging out and logging back in as root, launching gnorpm manually, or opening a terminal window. Wish I could turn on more debug than this, but the docs aren't the greatest : LibFind-Message: downloading http://www.redhat.com/RDF/resources/fullIndex.rdf.gz LibFind-WARNING **: HTTP error: 407 Proxy authorization required LibFind-WARNING **: Couldn't get data at http://www.redhat.com/RDF/resources/fullIndex.rdf.gz LibFind-Message: downloading http://www.redhat.com/RDF/resources/distribs/metadata.rdf LibFind-WARNING **: HTTP error: 407 Proxy authorization required LibFind-WARNING **: Couldn't get data at Y@Y.com/RDF/resources/distribs/metadata.rdf LibFind-WARNING **: couldn't grab metadata server list Gtk-CRITICAL **: file gtkcombo.c: line 817 (gtk_combo_set_popdown_strings): assertion `strings != NULL' failed.
