Solution 1

Try specifying the proxy address as username:password@address

Solution 2

From reading the upstream bug about this, it looks to be possible, but requires you to enter the host in the form of username:password@host in the network proxy dialog.

Solution 3

In system setting network option there you would find proxy option and apply system wide,if this does not work then put firefox it will work.

    The Ubuntu 11.10 has only simple proxy configuration. Where is the authentication option? so it can be used to download packages?

    What if the password itself contains ":"? Do I need to escape it then?
