first open a terminal and type:

export http_proxy=http://username:password@proxyhost:port/
export ftp_proxy=$http_proxy

if it works please add the rows to the bash .bashrc file in your home directory

gksudo gedit $HOME/.bashrc

you need to setup a proxy row into /etc/apt/apt.conf file...

Here details https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting_up_apt-get_to_use_a_http-proxy

in short:

gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf

Add this row:

Acquire::http::Proxy "http://username:password@yourproxyaddress:proxyport";

in all previous commands plese substitute your details for yourproxyaddress and proxyport username and password
