up2date-gnome-2.9.30-7.x.9

How Reproducible:
Everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. run up2date-config
2. 
3. 

Actual Results:
Can't enter any configuration through the GUI

Expected Results:

Comment 1 Need Real Name 2002-07-27 03:30:25 EDT

using 'up2date-config --nox' seems to work correctly.

Even after using the above command to set the proxy, running 'up2date-config'
still gives the same error messages.

Comment 2 Need Real Name 2002-07-27 03:42:40 EDT

Ah! I'd forgot to set the "use proxy" flag. Once that's done you can use the gui
up2date-config once again...

This is bad for a new user on a new box though.

Comment 3 Forrest 2002-07-30 13:05:58 EDT

I noticed the same thing.  up2date should not try to connect to the internet
before you have a chance to enter a proxy.

Comment 4 Adrian Likins 2002-07-30 14:15:26 EDT

Hmm, indeed. 

Passable work around in cvs (catch the communications error). Probabaly
need to add a "refresh server list" button to refetch the list once
the proxy info is know. Not great ui, but alas... Bit of a catch-22
of course, need to setup up networking before I can ask a server
what other servers you might want to use for your networking.


I love http proxies ;->

first pass fix in cvs, should show up in 2.9.31

Comment 5 Jay Turner 2002-08-19 15:42:58 EDT

Fix confirmed with up2date-2.9.46-1.
