This is a problem in Lucid Lynx and potentially also in other versions. If you need a proxy for your network to work, here is the things you need to do.

Click “Apply System-Wide”

Preferences -> Network tab
Manual config
HTTP proxy: your.proxy.address Port: 8081
FTP proxy: your.proxy.address Port: 8081

export https_proxy=https://your.proxy.address:8081
export http_proxy=http://your.proxy.address:8081
