leafpad is the right command for you to remove that http_proxy lines in your /etc/profile

Other text editor might be not be too suitable for you.

It's not that http_proxy does not work for you. The problem is your http_proxy does not appear even though you've enter it in your /etc/profile. Therefore, in view of your situation I'd recommend you to revert what you've done rather than pursue any further.

I hope you'd understand.

My apology indeed, it's so much we can do over the air.

Actually I just found out in other thread here that people has discussed this before and come up with the same solution. I'm not sure if you should pursue in this direction. Your choice. ^^

Try this:

The last line display the content of the profile.tmp you've just created in the second line.

If you think it sounds alright (no more http_proxy, and the rest looks good), then you can copy it back to /etc/profile:

Actually you don't need to reboot. I've tested any change to /etc/profile takes effect immediately.

Hope this help.

I must say beforehand that I have no working proxy to test the following myself, but normally the systemwise http proxy work this way. So please tell me the result.

In /etc/profile add the following:

Look like your result is quite different from ours. I've entered the line into my own /etc/profile and I got the following:
The only different are the quotes. You could try adding back the quotes, however at this point I recommend you not messing with it any further. You need to revert the change now.

1) Install leafpad
2) run the following in xterminal
3) remove the last two lines containing http_proxy
4) click on the top bar to drop down a menu where you could find 'Save'. Save the file
5) Exit the program
