I agree ! This is a VERY big issue. Here, I have 2 laptops : my old one, a core duo Macbook running Debian sid (1.25Go of RAM) and my brand new Dell XPS M1530 (4Go of RAM).
On the end of the day, on the Macbook, NetworkManager eats nearly all the RAM. On the end of the day, on the Dell XPS, NetworkManager eats 9.2% of the RAM, which result to 377Mo approx. This means that the bug is not linked to Ubuntu, but more a global NetworkManager issue. Please note that I don't switch networks during this period : I stay on my WLAN using WPA2. -- Memory leak in Networkmanager when switching between wired/wireless https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214593 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
