Hi,

I have python 3.5 installed on the ubuntu machine I need to use for work, but apparently not pip. I just received administrative rights on the computer, and tried to install pip, but I received multiple errors "Could not resolve 'proxy.iogs'". I receive the same error when I try to install any package (like emacs for example, so outside of libreoffice, I don't even know how to read files right now).

Using firefox, I can browse the Internet while using the option "no proxy", so I believe there is a proxy set up in the system somewhere I need to remove, but I have no idea how.

I browsed a bit on the issue, but the answers are always either specialized (about git notably), or ask to check and modify things I have no idea how to do. Could you explain how to fix this in a linux beginner friendly way ?

The following search might be able to find the configuration file that sets the proxy:

If that does not find anything, look into your .bashrc / .profile config files, maybe the proxy is set via environment variables:

The -r stands for recursive. For the search in your home directory you might want to omit it in the first go for faster results. In a second attempt, add it to also search directories such as ~/.config.
