This bug has been reported here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/153306 "Binary package hint: rhythmbox If you start rhythmbox without a network connection and establish one after the start. The last.fm plugin doesn't recognize this connection and doesn't send any information to last.fm. Only a restart helps."
If the last.fm handshake fails, it retries every half hour. Tracks played before the handshake completes will be queued, and then will be submitted once the handshake completes.
