Package: gnome-terminal Version: 3.22.2-1 My /etc/security/limits.d/local.conf says
* soft nofile 4096 * hard nofile 16584 root soft nofile 4096 root hard nofile 16584 But within gnome-terminal I just get % egrep ^Limit\|open /proc/$$/limits Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units Max open files 1024 4096 files Using other terminal emulators (xterm, xfce4-terminal) there is no such problem. This breaks my apps. gnome-terminal and gnome-terminal-server should resepct the ulimits initially set via pam_limits.so at login time and inherited from the calling process. Regards Harri
