[plug] Sundry niggles with Hardy

[Blake Munro]

Hmm. Interesting.

I had a problem some time ago when it did the same thing to me, it turns out
that the update-notifier program was launching before my wireless had
established a connection. This was causing it to try and connect to the
internet and then immediately close after a short timeout period.

Mind you, I have been running Intrepid since Alpha 6, updating it daily and
have not experienced this problem at all. What version are you running?

Try the following and see if it matches your output.

blake at ibmt40:~$ ps aux |grep update
blake     3570  0.0  0.1   3240   800 pts/0    S+   17:25   0:00 grep update
blake     6467  0.0  2.9  27444 15284 ?        S    Oct29   0:02
update-notifier
blake at ibmt40:~$

If you don't have update-notifier running then it may be quitting prior to
establishing a connection like I mentioned earlier.
