Update manager doesn't show packages availible for update.

Binary package hint: update-manager

Update manager doesn't automatically show updates, unless I press the "Check" button.
When I open it, it downloads some files and say that I'm up-to-date. After pressing the check button, updates show up and it turns out I wasn't up-to-date.

Distribution: Dapper stable

I plan to show the date of the latest check.

Why not make check/update the default startup behaviour?

Can there be more then two reasons for starting the update-manager?

1. Check if system is up-to-date.
2. Update system.

Both needs the update/check (apt-get update) first, so please make it the default startup behavior.

Dialup users.

It's 2007, who uses dial-up? :)
Or maybe there could be some kind of configuration, like:
[ ] I use dial-up.
[ ] I use broadband.

 Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. You reported this bug a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue for you. Can you try with the latest Ubuntu release? Thanks in advance.

We'd like to figure out what's causing this bug for you, but we haven't heard back from you in a while. Could you please provide the requested information? Thanks!

Confirmed. This is still the way it works.
