[Bug 1699789] Re: Ubuntu server installer misses http/s proxy settings for Landscape

[Johannes Martin]

It should be noted that the debian installer (or rather landscape-
config) waits indefinitely if it doesn't manage to get a connection to
the landscape server. A non-export users won't know why the installer
stops doing anything.

At the very least, landscape-config (or the process calling it) should
timeout with an appropriate error message after a few minutes, and the
install dialog should display a warning message in the dialogue where
the update strategy is displayed saying that the landscape option might
not work behind a firewall (until the issue is properly fixed).

Title:
  Ubuntu server installer misses http/s proxy settings for Landscape

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Ubuntu Xenial installer (ubuntu-16.04.2-server-amd64.iso) doesn't
  offer option to provide http/https proxy to be used by Landscape
  client when selecting "Manage system with Landscape" on upgrades
  management tasksel question.

  Therefore if system is placed behind proxy it will not be able to
  communicate with landscapce server.

  During system installation installer is asking user to provide proxy
  that is used by APT. It would be suitable that same proxy would be
  used for landscape.
