This is a question more for the Ubuntu mailing list, really. but, I would do this on *any* Linux system: check these files: ~/.bashrc (.bashrc on your home directory), and see if the variable is set there, if no: sudo /bin/bash (to get a root shell, on ubuntu, on ther systems: su -): cd /etc grep -r http_proxy * And see on which files is the variable. > > I decided to stop using squid it caused me a lot of problems since I > installed it > it was non stop one problem after another.
