How to use socks proxy for update with Muon

[Guest]

Hi
I want to know how I can set a socks proxy for Muon ? Because there is no socks proxy configuration option in system proxy settings.

thank you

Re: How to use socks proxy for update with Muon

KDE bug 189019 addresses this. Back in April 2009 (!) support for SOCKS was removed. The reason appears in comment #7:

disabled socks tab because socks library isn't available on win32

I'll let others here offer their opinions on that. Anyway...in October 2011, 2.5 years later, a solution appears in comment #31, which requires manually editing a file and restarting kdeinit4. The edit is persistent, so you'll need to do this only once.

Fortunately, we learn from comment #32 that a SOCKS configuration dialog will return to KDE 4.8, which we haven't had since KDE 4.1.
