Bug Description
Hello, I usually install Ubuntu without an internet connection. Later on the first boot, I connect to the internet. But the Ubuntu Mate Welcome in Ubuntu 15.10 doesn't refresh the package sources, so it throws a couple of errors about packages not being installable. New users won't know to run an "apt-get update" first, so it would be nice if Ubuntu Mate Welcome could be more intelligent and do that first if necessary.

In ubuntu mate welcome there in the introduction setting there is a way to launch the software updater. Why not for new users if it fails to find packages on install 1, check internet connection then maybe have a dialog to launch software updates to get the package list working which software updater does internally. OR does this same behavior happen with software updater as well?
