General Support - installed anon-proxy, ipmasq, & dnsmasq now can't update

Titel: installed anon-proxy, ipmasq, & dnsmasq now can't update
I am using Kanotix 2007-Thorhammer-RC7. I recently installed anon-proxy, ipmasq, dnsmasq, and firestarter. Since then, I cannot get apt-get update nor apt-get install (package) to work!? When I try apt-get update, this is the result:



Is one of the programs I installed blocking apt-get? If so, how can I get it/them to allow apt-get through? My web browser gets through (hence I'm here now) and I can download / upload through it!

I also cannot use Synaptic Package Manager to get anything anymore, maybe for the same reason(s)?

Thanks for the help,
QBall

Hi QBall,

what you need is to add the proxy definition and authentication (if any) to your apt-get call.
You may search with the keywords "apt-get proxy" and your favorite internet search engine for the exact use.

I prefer the direct setting as shell variable like this:
Code:

export http_proxy=http://user:password@hostname:port
export https_proxy=http://user:password@hostname:port
export ftp_proxy=http://user:password@hostname:port
export HTTP_PROXY=$http_proxy
export HTTPS_PROXY=$https_proxy
export FTP_PROXY=$ftp_proxy

Without proxy use, you've cut successfully any connection, since you are using a kind of internal firewall (why ?).

Best regards,
jon

I am using whatever defaults that came with the programs.

Would it help me with apt-get if I turned off the anon-proxy, ipmasq and dnsmasq through Control Center > Kanotix > Boot > Services > disable services (putting them in the 'disabled services')? Would I then be able to use apt-get?

Thanks,
QBall

Hi QBall,

Take a look at your well functioning browser, the network connection tab may contain the local proxy definition and use this value for defining the proxy for apt-get, as mentioned.
If not, you could try to disable the services (like described above by you, this would enable apt-get to be used in the normal way) or more simple - just deinstall anon-proxy (permanent or temporary, what you like).

Best redards,
jon

None of the browsers I use has any information on the local proxy definition (Iceweasel/Firefox or Konqueror) as they are set to 'direct connection to the internet' (I have cable internet). I had 'disabled' all those services and I still cannot get apt-get to work...same errors.

How do I uninstall them...through the Synaptic Package Manager?

Thanks for the help,
