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

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

** Description changed:

- Binary package hint: update-manager
+ update-manager 1:0.121, Ubuntu 9.10
  
  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.
