gsettings not working through ssh

Asked by Perumal

I am trying to set manual proxy using gsettings over ssh in Ubuntu 14...

Steps:
        1. Took a ssh connection to target system. Example (ssh 192.168.0.100)
        2. Set the DISPLAY variable (export DISPLAY=:0)
        3. Executed the command "gsettings set org.gnome.system.proxy mode 'manual'"

After doing the above steps, Manual proxy was set for only couple of seconds.. and immediately, proxy settings is getting resetted and going to "None" . But the above steps is perfectly working in Ubuntu 12.

  Is this is a known bug in Ubuntu 14 or do we have any solution for this ?

Thanks in Advance

Why not use the http_proxy BASH variable?

I am trying to use this in my automation... After setting http_proxy BASH variable, system needs to be rebooted. This I cannot handle in my automation... Is there any other way to set System level proxy through command line.
