[chromium-discuss] Re: ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED

[Marc Evans]

Good morning, everyone,
I work in a public school (college). I recently installed Debian 9 (i'm a
beginner with Linux) on some PCs and we have 5 assembled Raspberry Pi to
have more workstations for my students. My problem is that I can't get
Chromium browsing on the college's internet network. However on the same PC
I have installed Firefox too, I just changed the proxy to "manual" and I
entered the college proxy/server. And bingo ! It's working fine !!
ERR_PROXY_CONNECTION_FAILED
And there is no way to get to the proxy/config menu.If I try to access
chrome://linux-proxy-config/
When running Chromium under a supported desktop environment, the proxy
system settings will be used. However, either your system is not supported
or there was a problem launching your system configuration.
But you can still configure via the command line. Please see man chromium
for more information on flags and environment variables.
As I can't access the Chromium "reset proxy" menu, I tried this tutorial (
https://askubuntu.com/questions/66554/why-is-google-chrome-ignoring-my-proxy-settings)
without result.
If i could get Firefox installed on my Raspberry it would not be an issue,
but it's not possible.
So if any one can help me to find a way to get my network works with both
browsers it would be a great relief !!
Thank you for helping me fix this problem.
