I've switched from natty (Ubuntu 11.04) to a fresh install of quantal (Xubuntu 12.10), so I'm now running network-manager 0.9.6.0-0ubuntu7 and network-manager-gnome 0.9.6.2-0ubuntu6 (not sure why they're different versions). It looks like the massive memory leaks in nm-applet are gone. nm-applet tends to hover around 6MB of memory usage. However, after running for a couple of days, the applet stops responding. I think, though I'm not sure, that network connectivity eventually breaks some time later.
As before, when nm-applet becomes unresponsive, I can still click the nm-applet icon in the indicator plugin in the panel to bring up the menu, but the VPN submenu only shows a stub, clicking on "Information" or "Edit" does nothing, and I suspect clicking on any of the other available networks doesn't do anything either. Killing and then restarting nm-applet fixes it for another couple of days. As many others, I'm always on WiFi, I suspend and resume often, and there tend to be a lot of wireless networks within range. Which, if any, of these factors makes a difference in causing nm-applet to become unresponsive remains unknown. Has anyone tried the latest 0.9.6.4 release from http://projects.gnome.org/NetworkManager ? It has some hopeful points about stability in the release notes: http://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/NetworkManager/0.9/NetworkManager-0.9.6.4.news -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/780602 Title: nm-applet leaks memory and stops functioning after a while To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/oem-priority/+bug/780602/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
