[Bug 385433] Re: Update Manager opens when there is no network connection

[Scott Ritchie]

I believe update manager will still come up sometimes without a network
connection, though I think it needs retesting

Title:
  Update Manager opens when there is no network connection

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: update-manager

  In Jaunty, Update Manager will generally wait a week or so before it
  shows itself once updates are available.  However, it currently
  doesn't check to make sure there's actually a network connection to
  download those updates from.

  I discovered this when I brought my laptop to a restaurant to grab a
  bite to eat and do some work - when I booted, Update Manager appeared
  and offered to do some updates, however none were doable.

  
  I suggest simply delaying update manager's opening until a network connection is available.
