Recently I installed mint 17 cinnamon. Its really working great !! But I am facing some problem with apt-get update whenever I am under proxy. I thought it's because, proxy is not applied system wide and I couldn't find any "apply system wide" buttons in network settings to fix this up. I don't know how to work around using command line and please educate me regarding the same.

Thanks for the reply Jahid. sudo -E apt-get update worked . But, Stille in the end I have some warnings like "W: Failed to fetch cdrom.." I am just wondering why it's giving such warnings.
