[Bug 323108] Re: Doesn't check for updates when connection becomes available

[Sam_]

Availability improved. On laptop and pc (both up-to-date Precise)
update-manager appears after 10 - 20 min. online. Availability seems to
occur faster when firefox is up.

update-manager:
  Installed: 1:0.156.10
  Candidate: 1:0.156.10
  Version table:
 *** 1:0.156.10 0

Title:
  Doesn't check for updates when connection becomes available

Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “update-manager” source package in Jaunty:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  During the https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/jaunty-
  desktop-network-changing blueprint discussions it was identified that
  update-manager lacks a proper integration: it should trigger update of
  Packages list when network-manager becomes available.

  <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdates#check-automatic>: "Once it is
  due to check for updates, it should try to check one minute after the
  first time any administrator connects to the Internet."

  (This bug report originally also covered discouraging updates on
  mobile broadband, now reported as bug 776374. See also bug 272131.)
