OK - I was finally able to get this working in 17.04 after more experimentation, which revealed the following caveats:
- Ubuntu will respect limits you put in /etc/security/limits.conf (or /etc/security/limits.d/audio.conf), but **only after a reboot**. Logging out and back in are not sufficient to trigger a change. I suspect that rebooting only became necessary after the recent transition to systemd. - Limits in /etc/systemd/user.conf are applied after logging out and in. - I've only been able to change NOFILE (the max number of open files) by editing /etc/systemd/system.conf and then rebooting (logging out/in is not enough). Setting this value in user.conf or limits.conf seems to have no effect. -- 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/jackd2/+bug/1627769/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
