For Linux

chrome uses

-in gnome environment gnome proxy settings

-in kde environment kde proxy settings

i assume through freedesktop standards
thus
i assume you must replace these proxy settings feature by your own

Happy to announce Linux support in version 1.2.0, please install and test the 
new 
version and report any problem you face.
I've tested this version on Ubuntu 9.10 only, though it should work at on any 
Gnome 
based desktop.

Does it support 64bit distro? I uninstalled the older version,
deleted the older localstorage file for the extension, installed
again but the extension does not work. I am on Ubuntu 9.10 x86_64.

Linux Mandriva 2008.1 kde 3.5.9
with privoxy (local proxy to delete all advertisements) located at port 8118

i make a manual proxy settings

http_proxy: = http://localhost:8118
https_proxy:https://localhost:8118
no_proxy = localhost;127.0.0.1

1. proxy feature works well now

i have no more advertisement

2. i activate "quick switch"
then
by clicling switchy icon
i can't switch from proxy to no proxy thus i stay with proxy activated
and
there is no more contextual menu to select "options" for switchy settings
i must use chrome menu "settings/extension" then select "switchy/options"
to have the ability to set switchy

3 i unactivate "quick switch"
then
with switchy contextual menu
i can't switch from proxy to no proxy thus i stay with proxy activated

Running chromium (svn revision 34467) on ArchLinux (i686) and KDE 4.3.4. I 
cannot 
make this to work. Since 1.2.0, the log reports:

But the options are all messed up. If I set a profile and select it, overing 
the 
switchy icon tells me I'm using the other profile. And the proxy profile is 
never 
respected: it always uses a direct connection.

@nikhail, @hugo actually I haven't try it on 64bit distributions, but will try 
it asap 
and fix the problem.

@episteme, @nbigaouette since the plugin was loaded and had no problem I think 
it's all 
about KDE, I'll test it on KDE and fix this issue.

I need someone to confirm that it works on Gnome distributions (x86) (like 
Ubuntu 9.xx 
x86).

OS: Ubantu 9.10 32bit
Browser: (Chromium)4.0.249.30 and (Chrome)4.0.266.0

I use a SSH as SOCKS proxy.But Switchy will set the "HTTP area" a wrong 
value(which is 
("socks=127.0.0.1") in system proxy setting.
So I use privoxy to change it into a HTTP proxy,and it work great.
Anyone with the same problem can try privoxy~~

It's Linux day :)
- Added support for Gnome (64 bit) and KDE (32/64 bit), tested on Ubuntu 
(Gnome) 32/64 
bit and Fedora (KDE) 32 bit.
- Also implemented Switch Rules for Linux (all).
The new version 1.3.5 will be released later today.

I have tested in on Debian testing 64-bit with KDE.
HTTP proxies and proxy selection works, but if I switch to "Direct Connection" 
and 
refresh, selection goes back to proxy. I solved it by using auto switch mode 
with 
default rule "Direct Connection".
Also, profile with only SOCKS proxy specified and no HTTP proxy doesn't work.

When I upgrade Switchy! from 1.3.0 to 1.3.5
HTTP proxy doesn't work any more
It seems like the proxy profile which named <Current Profile>(yes it's default) 
cause the matter
When I click the icon switch a proxy,it doesn't change anything
the icon's color turn gray again,my proxy set goes <Current Profile>

Happy new year to you all :)

@reincarnation.zero
1. The first issue is fixed, and the fix will be included in the next release.
2. About the second issue, Chrome apparently doesn't support SOCKS on KDE based 
distributions!
Here is a quote from Chromium source code:
--
"The astute reader may notice that there is no mention of SOCKS
here. That's because KDE handles socks is a strange way, and we
don't support it."

@samrayone
<Current Profile> is a temp profile appears only if the current Chrome proxy 
configuration didn't match any exist profile (occurs when someone changes the 
proxy 
settings manually, not via Switchy).
So, if you select an exist profile from menu and Switchy applied it 
successfully, then 
the profile '<Current Profile>' should disappear.
Please disable 'Quick Switch' if it's enabled, and try selecting an exist 
profile, tell 
me if Switchy works well then.

Linux Mandriva 2008.1 kde 3.5.9
with Privoxy (local proxy to delete all advertisements) located at port 8118
it is a only http and https proxy

Switchy 1.3.5.1
i set manualy proxy settings

http :localhost 8118
https : localhost 8118
no proxy : localhost;127.0.0.1

i needed to delete the google-chrome folder for switchy working well

selecting "direct connection" i have a direct connection
selecting "privoxy" i have a privoxy connection

quick switch works well

a little pb :
when setting a new profile by default the filed "no proxy for" is set with

<local>;localhost;127.0.0.1

what is this "<local>" ?

Original comment by [email protected] on 3 Jan 2010 at 1:12

[GoogleCodeExporter]

a good thing with linux would be an automatical setting by copying proxy system 
parameters :

http_proxy
https_proxy
no_proxy

this does not depends from gnome or kde or any environment

anyway the main goal is achieved

thanks

I still cannot make it work here on ArchLinux (i686) and KDE 4.3.4. Here is the 
log:
[12:25:00] [info] - Extension Info: v1.3.5.1
[12:25:00] [info] - Browser Info: 5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US)

[12:25:00] [success] - 'localStorage' supported..
[12:25:00] [success] - Wrote to local storage successfully..
The extension nows seems to behave corectly: I can set options, add and delete 
proxy, 
etc. No errors are reported or no strange behaviour.

BUT, if I set the proxy to the ssh tunnel (localhost) the proxy setting is not 
enforced. It does not matter if the ssh tunnel is established or not: looking 
at a 
"what's my ip" website will always report a direct connection. I would expect 
the 
connection to that website to fail if the ssh tunnel is not established.

I was trying to find anything related to proxy in kde's systemsettings, but I 
cannot 
find anything! I also tried to delete the extension's configuration but 
uninstalling 
the extension and installing it back gave me the same config as before. Where 
can I 
delete that information?

@mirlww
It should still work on both, try disabling and re-enabling Switchy.

@episteme.promeneur
kinda strange! you shouldn't have to delete google-chrome folder for Switchy to 
work!
about "<local>", it's Windows-specific (means localhost), you can delete it if 
you want.
and about the environment variables, this may work with many applications, but 
not Chrome, since it prioritizes 
Gnome and KDE specific proxy settings over environment variables.

@nbigaouette
if you're using SSH Tunnel + SOCKS proxy it will not work properly on KDE, 
because Chrome doesn't support SOCKS 
on KDE based distributions! (anyone can confirm this?)

Original comment by [email protected] on 4 Jan 2010 at 12:57

[GoogleCodeExporter]

It's not a SOCKS proxy but an http proxy: the ssh connection tunnels to a squid 
proxy.

It didn't help. That step just removes "Switchy!" extension without touching 
it's 
settings. And I have no idea where they are and how to remove them. Thoughts?

@nbigaouette
please do these two tests and post back the results:
- to get current Chrome active proxy settings open this page (chrome://net-
internals/proxyservice.config), compare the info in this page with the applied 
proxy 
profile, if they match then Switchy works well.
- open terminal, and run this command
> kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group 'Proxy Settings' --key httpProxy
what's the output?

finally, to reset Switchy settings you can delete Chrome browsing history (I'll 
add a 
button for this later).

@samrayone
really strange, just tested it on the same environment and it works well!
--
OS: Ubuntu 9.10 32bit
Browser Version:4.0.289.0
Switchy!:1.3.5.1
--
did you check the error log? and try disable/enable Switchy.

@ydidukh
seems that the plugin doesn't work properly..
well, may you try this:
- open terminal, and run these commands
> kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group 'Proxy Settings' --key httpProxy
> gconftool-2 -g /system/http_proxy/host
> echo $DESKTOP_SESSION + $GNOME_DESKTOP_SESSION_ID + $KDE_FULL_SESSION
what's the output?

@HLiangJun
please give me more details about your OS, Chrome, Switchy version and error 
log.

Original comment by [email protected] on 4 Jan 2010 at 6:41

Thanx for your help. Here's the wanted output.
The content of chrome://net-internals/proxyservice.config:
Automatic settings:
  Auto-detect: No
  Custom PAC script: [None]
Manual settings:
  Proxy server: [None]
  Bypass list: [None]
  Bypass local names: No
I get this whatever is selected using the switchy! icon.

At first, I had this:
$ kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group 'Proxy Settings' --key httpProxy
http://127.0.0.1:48628
which is my ssh tunnel. The file ~/.kde4/share/config/kioslaverc contains:
[$Version]
update_info=kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r1,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r2,kioslave.upd:kde2.2/r3

[Proxy Settings]
NoProxyFor=
Proxy Config Script=
ProxyType=0
ftpProxy=http://127.0.0.1:48628
httpProxy=http://127.0.0.1:48628
httpsProxy=http://127.0.0.1:48628
socksProxy=http://127.0.0.1:48628

After some testing, I realized that switchy! (or something controled by it, 
f.e. 
chromium) overwrite this file. So if I set a foobar as a proxy profile in 
switchy, 
the file ~/.kde4/share/config/kioslaverc will contain it! Whatever I do in 
konqueror 
to change the proxy, it will be overwritten by chromium/switchy... What an odd 
behavior.

After more test, I confirm that changing profile in switchy will change KDE's 
proxy 
settings, but chromium does not use that setting.
Can it be possible to have the other way round? :P

well, if you change system proxy settings manually does Chrome sees and uses 
the new 
settings?

I guess I've found something.

Deleting the config file of Switchy! doesn't help(which is 
~/.config/google-chrome/Default/Local Storage/chrome-
extension_caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj_0.localstorage). 

I replace the "npSwitchy.so" with the one of Switchy! 1.3.0 (the size of which 
is 
237.7kb),and the "<Current Profile>" problem disappear~ Everything work well 
except 
the "auto switch mode".

Can you send me a copy of the "npSwitchy.so" of the version 1.3.5 ?
Thanks in advance~

I've deleted the folder ~/.config/chromium/ and reinstalled Chromium & Switchy!

OK,here's my Log

@Mohammadhi

I don't think that these results may help you, but here's the output:
"""
~ > kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group 'Proxy Settings' --key httpProxy
zsh: command not found: kreadconfig

"""

Also, I've tried to delete Switchy's config file as @mirlww suggested, but it 
didn't help. With a blank config I still 
see errors in the log ("Plugin not working properly! Internal error: Can't read 
proxy configuration!").

Is there any other steps that may help you to find out the reason?

>> ~ > kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group 'Proxy Settings' --key httpProxy
>> zsh: command not found: kreadconfig

After installation "kdebase-bin" package the problem with <Current Profile> has 
disappeared. But it 
still doesn't work for me (changing proxy profile doesn't affect chrome's proxy 
settings). Interesting 
fact is that switchy! overwrites kioslaverc file each time I'm changing proxy 
profile:

Profile A:
~ > kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group 'Proxy Settings' --key httpProxy
http://127.0.0.1:13128
Profile B:
~ > kreadconfig --file kioslaverc --group 'Proxy Settings' --key httpProxy
http://127.0.0.1:3128

Chrome's proxy settings are:
Current configuration (chrome://net-internals/proxyservice.config)
Automatic settings:
  Auto-detect: No
  Custom PAC script: [None]
Manual settings:
  Proxy server: [None]
  Bypass list: [None]
  Bypass local names: No

It seems that I've found a workaround. It's just enough to set DESKTOP_SESSION 
env 
variable to kde. That's all. Switchy! works :-)

Hope this will help you.

Switching from direct connection to a socks proxy failed on Linux!
When I switch, Switchy add "socks=IP" to HTTP proxy IP textfield!

I have 1.3.5.1.

I have the same problem as @samrayone. The logs show that there are no method

Running the 3 commands suggested I have:

3- default + Default + (which is gnome)

Mandriva 2010.0
google-chrome 4.0.249.43

i try to setup switchy but now with kde 4.3.4 instead of kde 3.5.9

i use your last attached or 1.5.1 npSwitchy.so

i add a Privoxy profile
then
i click on "save" button
then
privoxy profile is well recorded
but
an empty <current profile> is added which causes trouble

i can manualy select "direct connection" and "Privoxy" profiles , no pb
but

if i want to use quickswitch with "direct connection" and "privoxy"
then
i activate quickswitch
i choose as first profile "privoxy" and as second profile "direct connection"
then
i click on "save" button
then
by default the <current profile" is selected

i click on switchy icon
then
i switch to "Privoxy" profile
then
i click  on switchy icon
then
i did not switch to "direct connection" nor "current profile"
but i stay with "privoxy" profile

addendum : no pb with Mandriva 2008.1 and kde 3.5.9 !

The situation is almost same.Except that:
Each time after reboot,the Switchy! work at the first time of running Chrome.If 
I restart the browser,it 
will fail again.

I've tested npSwitchy.so(50kb) on both dev(4.0.288.1) and beta(4.0.249.43) 
version of Chrome.
=======================================

Although I see a plugin named "Switchy! Chrome Extension 1.5" in the 
"about:plugins" page,but there is no 
such plugin in the "Task Manager" of Chrome.Maybe this could tell something.
Here is the photo.

If I select my proxy, the icon becomes dark blue for ~5 seconds, then goes back 
to 
light gray-blue. Clicking on it shows the screenshot I'm attaching. In all 
cases, the 
proxy is never respected.

Some problems found:
1.When trying to swicth to the "Auto Switch Mode",the plugin(npSwitchy.so) will 
set the correct values to the textfield of 
"Autoconfiguration URL" then crash(disappear from the Task Manager of Chrome).
2.Add "New Rule" through the "Swithy! Options" page will make the "Save" and 
"Close" button out of function(no responses 
when pushing "Save" button,and pushing the "Close" won't close the "Swithy! 
Options" page).While it's OK through the popup 
menu(Quick Rule).

Still not working for me. I will do the step-by-step configuration.
1- First I reset options, clear log and clik Diagnose:

2- Then I go to Profile configuration and change <Default Profile> to a 
custom-made 
one. I save and reload the log.
Log shows:
[15:28:22] [error] - Plugin Error @ProfileManager.getConnections() > TypeError: 
Object #<an HTMLEmbedElement> has no method 'getConnections'

3- I try to change to the recently created profile. The switchy icon briefly 
changes 
its color and then come back to normal.
Log shows:
[15:29:21] [error] - Plugin Error @ProfileManager.applyProfile(Profile:

4- I try to revert to Direct Connection.

Connection]","proxyMode":"direct","color":"inactive"})

In other words, nothing that I try to do actually works. As I said before, my

is a Debian Lenny with gnome as my window manager.

Thank you all for your valuable feedback.
Please refer to this page (http://code.google.com/p/switchy/wiki/LinuxSupport) 
for more info about 
Linux support and how to diagnose and fix problems.

Thanx Mohammadhi for your work. I was able to make switchy work here.

It never worked: even if switchy did not reported errors, setting the proxy 
would 
yield nothing. Chromium always used a direct connection.

That was when it worked. Running from command line, I saw twice a double free 
corruption...  I also had a "<Current Profile>" hanging around. I wanted to 
clear 
everything: I uninstalled, removed the file ~/.config/chromium/Default/Local\  
Storage/chrome-extension_caehdcpeofiiigpdhbabniblemipncjj_0.localstorage and 
reinstalled but that did not worked. I tried again, but forgot to uninstall 
first. By 
deleting the config file I got rid of <Current Profile> and all errors in the 
log. 
But the procy would just not be set... 

Then I realized that ArchLinux uses ~/.kde4, not ~/.kde. So I symlinked one to 
the 
other: ln -s ~/.kde4 ~/.kde, restarted chromium and bang, I have switchy 
working!! 
Thanx jkrcma! ;)

Note also that even though I use KDE, the variable KDE_FULL_SESSION was empty. 
I have 
exported the value:
export KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
before launching chromium from the command line and now it works. I did not 
tried wit 
h the "default" empty value. Will report back.

@Mohammadhi: Maybe you can add a note on the wiki about the ~/.kde4 vs ~/.kde?

Ok I just checked without KDE_FULL_SESSION and switchy did not liked it.

@jkrcma Nice to know that this trick solved the problems! Thank you!
@jkrcma, leventyild: This issue is fixed now, check the new version please.
@zivester Maybe that's because Firefox is configured to use system proxy, 
change its 
proxy configuration to Manual Config or Direct and everything should be OK.

@nbigaouette May you send me the Chrome error log when Switchy plugin isn't 
loaded (the 
last case)?
And about the wiki note, I'll add it now, thank you.

@rogeriovnunes The log doesn't reveal any problem in loading the plugin! I'm 
going to 
install Debian and test it, which version do you use?

[17:50:38] [error] - Plugin not loaded!

2. the error log when clicking "Auto Switch Mode" mene item:

I'm observing exactly the same issue as @kynix.leo.

Is there a way to downgrade to previous version of Switchy! that works for me 
just 
fine?

I'm using Debian Stable version 5.03. I have only installed the first CD (base 
system 
+ gnome desktop).

Yeah, Chrome ~/.kde bug is very discreet, glad to help.

I tested the new version. I usually don't shutdown my laptop so Chrome is 
running for 
circa 3 days now. I mentioned the Switchy! had failed (error log similar to 
@kynix.leo) and manually reloaded it. After that it started working for me even 
with 
Auto Switch feature! Thanks Mohammadhi ;)

I personally dislike the need of tab restarting (or pressing F5 many many 
times) 
after the manual proxy change. But it may be something in Chrome.

One more piece of knowledge. I've restarted KDE after upgrade and freshly 
launched 
Chrome. Switchy! was in failed state immediately. I Deactivated, activated, 
nothing 
... and twice again. After three tries it worked. Error log same as @kynix.leo 
again.
