cannot update unless on one network
I am recently using ubuntu12.04 LTS and as I try to update, install apps and upgrade, I get error messages unless I am on one network. This is a wifi network that is found at my work place, I think there is an application installed to do that. Any how, this is all I get when trying to update in other networks.`eventhough its not all of it

Solution 1:
It looks like you have configured apt to use a caching proxy on your workplace intranet. When you are not connected to that network, the proxy settings are invalid and the updates/installs will fail.
The best way to fix that will depend how often you update your system at work versus away from work, either:
-
If you usually update at work, but want to run
apt-getoccasionally when your connected to another network, you should be able to override the configuration setting on the command line by adding-o Acquire::http::Proxy=falseto the command e.g.sudo apt-get -o Acquire::http::Proxy=false update -
If you rarely use the work proxy, then you could consider removing or disabling it altogether: this is probably easiest using the
synapticpackage manager, by going to Settings-->Preferences and then selecting the Network tab, and making sure it is set toDirect connection to the internet:
If you don't have
synapticyou can edit the proxy settings manually - you should find them either in file/etc/apt/apt.confor one of the fragments in/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/and it will probably look something likeAcquire::http::Proxy "http://aptcache.intranet.ics:3142"which you can either comment out, or explicitly set to
Acquire::http::Proxy DIRECT If you want
aptto auto-detect whether the specified proxy is available, and make a direct connection if it isn't, then apparently there is a way to do that as well - see this previous answer at How do I ignore a proxy if not available?
