On 17.04, even the workaround that Ewan posted in #5 above doesn't work for me. If I add DefaultLimitNOFILE=40000 to /etc/systemd/user.conf and log out and log in again, prlimit still shows this:
adam:~$ prlimit RESOURCE DESCRIPTION SOFT HARD UNITS ... NOFILE max number of open files 4096 4096 files adam:~$ -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1627769 Title: limits.conf not applied To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/lightdm/+bug/1627769/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
