Hello Team,

I am facing a very strange issue in GUI for PVE.

Whenever I login in shell in PVE using GUI I get this strange error always.:

-bash: Acquire::http: Proxy: command not found
-bash: Acquire::https: Proxy: command not found
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Please find attached screenshot for more insight.

Hi,
please check your .bashrc, /etc/profile, etc. where initial shell commands are sourced from.

Apologies for being dumb, I am new to Debian actually. So what I am looking at in these files ?? because I don't find any proxy entry in these files.

I just did a web search and these seem to be related to setting a proxy server - did you do that durning setup?

do `printenv` and see if you have proxy envars set?

if you do then either they are getting set in one of the files mentioed above, or by some other process / file
you likely have something that looks like this

Code: 
http_proxy='http://user:pass@PROXY_IP:PROXY_PORT/'
https_proxy='http://user:pass@PROXY_IP:PROXY_PORT/'

but if you didn't set it during install or manually then maybe something you installed?

No during instalaltion I dont get any option to setup proxy. However, I did setup proxy in file "/etc/apt/apt.conf.d/proxy.conf" for updates.

Here is the output for printenv.


root@XXXXXXX:/etc# printenv
SHELL=/bin/bash
PWD=/etc
LOGNAME=root
XDG_SESSION_TYPE=tty
MOTD_SHOWN=pam
HOME=/root
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
XDG_SESSION_CLASS=user
TERM=xterm-256color
USER=root
SHLVL=1
XDG_SESSION_ID=810
XDG_RUNTIME_DIR=/run/user/0
HUSHLOGIN=FALSE
PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin
MAIL=/var/mail/root
_=/usr/bin/printenv
OLDPWD=/root
root@XXXXXXX:/etc#

why on earth did you do that (are you on dial up or dsl?), and if you did then you have your answer on why you see it, sounds like you need to live with it :-) or google a bit more

tl;dr not a proxmox issue

out of interest what did you put in the proxy.conf - maybe you have some verbose logging turned on that is just being put in std out?

So we did this in entire env. as I don't have access to internet for proxmox updates without proxy. However, out of 50+ servers I am getting this issue only on one server.

ok, sorry for you loss

those look normal based on my 5 mins of googling, looks like this is just a symptom of setting that, you can easily prove, backout the proxy settings - do you still get the messages?

did you install any non-proxmox packages on the host with apt - maybe once you did that this was set in one of the bash profiles like was suggested

also for the love of god learn how to cut and paste text and post that here in a code block not screeen shots :-)

What is the output of the following?
Code: 
grep "Acquire::https" .bashrc
grep "Acquire::https" /etc/profile
grep "Acquire::https" /etc/bash.bashrc
grep "Acquire::https" /etc/profile.d/*
ls /etc/profile.d/
