Hi Christian,
I tried the alternative command, but I am getting error in that for
connecting to the host.
The error logs are as follows
gpg: directory `/home/bagggami/.gnupg' created
gpg: new configuration file `/home/bagggami/.gnupg/gpg.conf' created
gpg: WARNING: options in `/home/bagggami/.gnupg/gpg.conf' are not
yet active during this run
gpg: keyring `/home/bagggami/.gnupg/secring.gpg' created
gpg: keyring `/home/bagggami/.gnupg/pubring.gpg' created
gpg: requesting key 7BE1F97B from hkp server
keyserver.ubuntu.com
gpgkeys: HTTP fetch error 7: couldn't connect to host
gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found.
gpg: Total number processed: 0
Can you tell me whats going wrong here.
Regards,
Amit Bag

I am not able to install any packages related to linaro for example
when I tried that below command
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:linaro-maintainers/toolchain
I am getting error like
Error reading

But when I use a direct INTERNET connection without proxy its working
fine.
The problem you're running into is that add-apt-repository is fetching a
GPG key from the Ubuntu keyserver, which is running on port 11371. You
can indeed punch a hold in the firewall, but you can also just issue
sudo gpg --keyserver hkp://keyserver.ubuntu.com:80 --recv-keys 7BE1F97B
since this is a one-time operation -- once the key is set up
transferring packages is done over regular http.
