Thank you for your explanation. I did not think this was the problem as the max connexions per user limit was defined in /etc/dbus1/session.conf, but it seems that it was so. Maybe a more complex problem : see below.
Effectively, placing <limit name="max_connections_per_user">256</limit> in /etc/dbus-1/system.conf solve the problem for GNOME (not for KDE but limit is maybe to low). But the max_connections_per_user was also fixed in /etc/dbus-1/session.conf : .... <!-- the memory limits are 1G instead of say 4G because they can't exceed 32-bit signed int max --> ... <limit name="max_connections_per_user">100000</limit> <limit name="max_pending_service_starts">10000</limit> <limit name="max_names_per_connection">50000</limit> <limit name="max_match_rules_per_connection">50000</limit> <limit name="max_replies_per_connection">50000</limit> ... I've try to suppress the value in system.conf and reduce the value to 256 in session.conf to see if the proposed value was not simply to hight: No, the error message comes back. So it seems that this file (session.conf) is not read at dbus start-up or that some (or all) its values are overwrites during the process. I've replace the <limit name="max_connections_per_user">100000</limit> in both session.conf and system.conf and it is working (no bus message errors in GNOME. Akonadi gives me always the same messages but I suppose this is a Akonadi configuration problem that I've to solve later) Best regards Mpaq -- Error connecting to bus: org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.LimitsExceeded: The maximum number of active connections for UID 1000 has been reached https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/492941 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
