Hi,

I'm the system manager of a network in which we are using coot.

A few days ago a user sent me a message telling that when he has been working 
with coot for about 3-4 hours, he get an error message like this:

E: client-conf-x11.c: XOpenDisplay() failed
W: core-util.c: Failed to open configuration file 
'/users/USERNAME/.pulse/client.conf': Too many open files
W: client-conf.c: Failed to open configuration file '/etc/pulse/client.conf': 
Too many open files
W: shm.c: Failed to read /dev/shm/: Too many open files

I don't know what's happening, can anyone help me please? Thank you very much.
   


That looks to me like a PulseAudio error. And (sad to say) as yet, Coot 
doesn't do sounds.  I mean to say, that that error message does not look 
like it comes from Coot.

Paul is right, this ain't coot problem.  Some other application may be
failing to close all the files it opens.  It's PulseAudio, which I can
attest was notoriously unstable under some Linux flavors.  You can try
killing it (pulseaudio -k), that what I used to do all the time (I
didn't have your bug, but rhythmbox just wouldn't play anything until I
did).  This may also be hardware specific.

Take a look at this

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gst-plugins-good0.10/+bug/298820

Your best solution may be to upgrade whatever Linux flavor you are
running, as this is probably solved in the latest version of
gst-plugins-good or whatever is not closing the sound pipes.

HTH,

Ed.
