Set Proxy For Picasa In Ubuntu

Ubuntu logo

I am behind a proxy server and needed to set the proxy for picasa to work on my Ubuntu Intrepid. The instructions have been recorded below :

• First you need to start the registry editor of picasa
  • /opt/picasa/bin/wrapper regedit
  • The above should do. However my picasa wrapper was located at a different place, namely
    • /opt/google/picasa/3.0/bin/wrapper regedit
  • Check yours and run the command appropriately
• Navigate to the following user key
  • HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionInternet Settings
• Now we need to add a few entries. They are
  • ProxyEnable
    • REG_BINARY
    • 01 00 00 00
  • ProxyOverride
    • String value
  • ProxyServer
    • String value
    • Server:Port
      • For example I had to set 144.16.192.247:8080
• Thats it, done. The change should be immediate.
