    Chromium won;t work with proxy after upgrade to 12.04

    Weirdness. After upgrading to 12.04 Google Chromium can no longer connect to my proxy (Error 130, proxy connection failed). However, Firefox, with exactly the same proxy settings, works just fine. Can anyone suggest what it is about Chrome that might need tweaking?

    I have found that launching Chromium with the --proxy-server=address: port option works, but using the "Under the Hood" settings does not. Anyone got a suggestion?

      Thank you for the workaround; initially thought I did something wrong when I was transitioning from 11.10 to 12.04 --but the same thing happens on all 3 machines I use. I came across this [1] whilst looking for solutions... it didn't solve the problem, but I was rather surprised that proxy settings indicated by dconfi-editor were old entries that had a different CNTLM port entry... perhaps that might be related?

        Bug in Chromium. It's been acknowledged upstream and is being fixed. The easiest fix at present is to edit ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc and put a colon ':' between the URL and the port number in the proxy settings. In 4.8, it defaults to a 'space' instead of a colon.

          Thank you for this Andrew.
