Re: Updates on Login (was: Re: [Fwd: Update manager])

 

Ok, based on these questions I'm not convinced you carefully read my entire
post. I addressed these in my story, but I'm happy to do so a second time.

What gave you this impression? This is absolutely not the case. If you
reread my scenario, you'll see that potentially all you do at login is
authorize the updates (in the non-reboot case). Once you've said "ok,
update" you continue to the desktop, where download/install can happen. In
the case that a reboot will be required, you are given the option to wait or
proceed.

We have already taken the user's password/username, they're effectively
logged in, just not to their normal desktop session. We can connect to a
network by this point.
