How do I add a repository from behind a proxy?

I've a problem at the office. We're behind a proxy (which is set and applied at ubuntu proxy settings) and when I try to add a repository from terminal, I get:




Error reading --some url here--: urlopen error [Errno 113] No route to host




I've tried with




  • Launchpad-getkeys script. I get this (image)


enter image description here





  • I've tried with another "hack", without luck




    1. Press Alt-F2 and type gksu gedit /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py

    2. Find line 88, change keyserver.ubuntu.com to hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80

    3. Save, close and reboot.




Does anyone know if I could solve this problem in any way? Thanks

          Your issue is described on this following bug report, It seems that the proper fix is described at commment #11:




          1. Set the variable https_proxy to your proxy


          2. Edit /etc/sudoers or the correct file in /etc/sudoers.d/ so it contains:



            Defaults env_keep = https_proxy

          • Joao, I've added variables to /home/myuser/.bashrc, then added the env_keep stuff to /etc/sudoers, and now when I execute this command "sudo env | grep proxy" I get the variables showing. When I add a repository or execute the launchpad-getkeys script, I don't get errors anymore. THANKS!!

          Use the -HE option of sudo:



          sudo -HE apt-key [...]


          It will keep your proxy settings

            You have to enter the root account and add the repository from there:



            sudo su
            add-apt-repository ppa:xxxyyy/ppa
