Posted on April 27, 2010 by

If you are using amarok under Gnome in a proxy environment, I am sure you will be troubled finding proxy settings for amarok in the Configuration of Amarok . Here is a way to specify proxy setting for amarok in Gnome.

  • Clear any proxy setting if specified in Amarok Configuration page
  • Edit file  ~/.kde/share/config/kioslaverc and append the following lines-
    [Proxy Settings][$i]
ProxyType=1
httpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
httpsProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
ftpProxy=http://username:password@proxyserver:port/
  • Save this file and restart Amarok. Now Amarok will recognize your proxy settings.
