Why is Google Chrome ignoring my proxy settings?

I just installed Ubuntu 11.10 in my laptop.The network I am connected to uses a proxy server. I adjusted the proxy settings in System Settings->Network->Network Proxy.

I applied them system wide, but in Google Chrome it is not working. I am unable to browse although I can access the Internet through Mozilla Firefox where I set up the proxy manually.

Can any one tell me what the problem is? How I can correct it?

Solution 1:

Download `dconf-tools :

sudo apt-get install dconf-tools

run it from terminal:

dconf-editor

Then go to "systerm>proxy" change "mode" to manual and select "use-same-proxy" now goto "system>proxy>http" give your proxy information there and select "enable" option

make sure ftp, https and socks have "0" (zero) on "port" and nothing on "Host" field

Everything should work fine now.

Solution 2:

One method of bypassing this problem is to install the Switch Proxy extension for Chromium, then set your proxy settings within the extension. Chromium will pay attention to these extension settings.
