Package: chromium Version: 35.0.1916.153-2 Severity: normal Tags: upstream patch
upstream bug: https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=137875 It's reasonably easy for the chromium parent process to hit the maximum open files limit which defaults to 1024 open files per process on Debian. A temporary workaround is to add: ulimit -n $( ulimit -nH ) to the chromium launcher script, in order to up to up the soft limit to the hardlimit (perhaps there should be a cap e.g. 65536 if the hard limit is higher than that?). FWIW some other distros have both lower soft limits and higher hard limits. Possibly another workaround would be to add a file which raises the 'nofile' default limit /etc/security/limits.d/ for local users (e.g. in the floppy, audio, or video groups maybe?). I don't know what a "reasonable" upper limit would be, I just know that I exceed the current limit of 1024 on a daily basis, but probably I have more tabs open than most people (around 40 at the moment, in two profiles). As mentioned in the upstream bug report, a better fix would be to have proper error reporting when file opens fail. -- System Information: Debian Release: jessie/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.14-1-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages chromium depends on: ii chromium-inspector 35.0.1916.153-2 ii gconf-service 3.2.6-2 ii libasound2 1.0.27.2-4 ii libc6 2.19-4 ii libcairo2 1.12.16-2 ii libcap2 1:2.22-1.2 ii libcups2 1.7.3-6 ii libdbus-1-3 1.8.6-1 ii libexpat1 2.1.0-6 ii libfontconfig1 2.11.0-5 ii libfreetype6 2.5.2-1 ii libgcc1 1:4.9.0-7 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.6-2 ii libgcrypt11 1.5.3-4 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.30.7-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.40.0-3 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.4.1-1 ii libgtk2.0-0 2.24.24-1 ii libharfbuzz0b 0.9.29-1 ii libjpeg8 8d-2 ii libnspr4 2:4.10.6-1 ii libnss3 2:3.16.1-1 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.36.3-1 ii libpangocairo-1.0-0 1.36.3-1 ii libspeechd2 0.8-6 ii libspeex1 1.2~rc1.1-1 ii libstdc++6 4.9.0-7 ii libudev1 204-14 ii libx11-6 2:1.6.2-2 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.4-1 ii libxcursor1 1:1.1.14-1 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.4-1 ii libxext6 2:1.3.2-1 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0.1-1 ii libxi6 2:1.7.2-1 ii libxml2 2.9.1+dfsg1-3 ii libxrandr2 2:1.4.2-1 ii libxrender1 1:0.9.8-1 ii libxslt1.1 1.1.28-2 ii libxss1 1:1.2.2-1 ii libxtst6 2:1.2.2-1 ii xdg-utils 1.1.0~rc1+git20111210-7.1 chromium recommends no packages.
