Bug#772650: general: Debian could not use gateway in 169.254.0.0 ip range

1) General is the wrong package for this bug. (i assume it's going to get closed, network-manager or ifupdown are probably a better idea). 2) Assuming the former is causing the problem (because you have eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces). FIX 1) Set managed=true in /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.

I think it would be good to know if your running stable or testing. and if you are on systemd or not. irc channels on irc.debian.org #debian or #debian-next are very good for 'live support' so that the issue can be dug into. On 14 August 2014 19:45, Sven Bartscher wrote: > On Thu, 14 Aug 2014

How do you measure memory? Free? Could you quite possibly post the output of free and whatever else you measure with? (the full output) For reference against jessie, i'm installing an up to date jessie right now... Thanks Anthony (bofh80)
