Lernid on Proxy and Philippine Team Tutorial Series
I was at work during the Ubuntu Developer Week, but that didn’t stop me from attending this event via irssi. I was, however, disappointed when I found out that Lernid doesn’t work (yet) from behind a proxy server. And I didn’t get to experience the full potential of Lernid – you know, with the presentation thingie!
Anway, I was planning on using this great app for our Tutorial Series since it already integrates an IRC client, a Browser, and a Presentation pane. But I’m afraid it’ll only disrupt #ubuntu-classroom and #ubuntu-classroom-chat since our team do not exclusively communicate in English. And there are instances where our channel’s flooded with 3 or more languages, you can only imagine the chaos we’ll cause on an English-only channel. Maybe an option to direct to another channel? I’ll file a feature request later.

For proxy problem one a bug report at: https://bugs.launchpad.net/lernid
For multiple-languages I suggest to open a new wishlist (just report a bug and write in you have a wish).

File a bug and tell them to use http://libproxy.googlecode.com which should get them up and running with proxy support in no time flat.

I have downloaded the daily build and there is no problem with proxy. You most probably installed older version.
Try installing Lernid from daily build. Add the following PPA to Software Sources:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/lernid-devs/lernid-daily/ubuntu karmic main

Search for a tool called “proxychains”, and configure it to tunnel every application forcibly through the proxy.
