This is the only change I have in my /etc/sysctl.conf : kern.maxfiles=16384 security.pax.mprotect.enabled=0 net.inet.tcp.sendspace=131072 net.inet.tcp.recvspace=131072 net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_auto=1 net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_auto=1 > > I tried: > > sysctl -w proc.curproc.rlimit.descriptors.hard=100000 > > and added to the start of startkde: > > ulimit -n 10000 > > KDE seems to get further but its still not getting to a working desktop. > I'm not seeing the too many open files in .xsession-errors like I was. > > I am seeing errors like this: > > vmnetbsd# more .xsession-errors > .xsession-errors: Too many open files in system > > When you are running KDE you must be doing some config to up the open file > limits I'm assuming. Nothing besides the mentioned above. However, I am running -current as of yesterday and each and every package is locally built. I haven't tried the package sets available from the NetBSD foundation yet. I actually have two build hosts with different /etc/mk.conf files, using different versions of python and a few other bits. > > What are you configuring and where? AS I said, nothing special. This is the relevant part of my /etc/rc.conf: ... sshd=YES mdnsd=YES httpd=YES wscons=YES rpcbind=YES rpcbind_flags="-l" # -l logs libwrap mountd=YES mountd_flags="" # NFS mount requests daemon nfs_client=YES # enable client daemons nfs_server=YES # enable server daemons lockd=YES lockd_flags="" statd=YES statd_flags="" ntpdate=YES winbindd=YES smbd=YES nmbd=YES dbus=YES mpd=YES hal=YES avahidaemon=YES autofs=YES automount_flags="" cupsd=YES cups_browsed=YES .... so there is dbus, hal, avahi running. I also build kde4 without samba (PKG_OPTIONS.kde-runtime4+= -samba in /etc/mk.conf, as this used to bring samba3, I am using samba4, even as a AD DC in a few systems). > > Barry > -- ----
