Re: [e-users] error message: unable to fork process
check for some hints in ~/.xsession-errors. But it sounds like you're hitting an nproc limit (which is odd, since you're able to open it fine). Just to be sure, check ulimit, see if you have anything there. I'm not sure this is the problem, but better to discard it 2014-07-09 21:00 GMT-03:00 Conrad Hill-Knight iestynap...@gmail.com: I just had an error message pop up in a window in Enlightenment that i've never seen before. This occurred when I selected a program from the applications menu (normal left-click on desktop). The text of the message is: Enlightenment is unable to fork a child process: speedcrunch. (Speedcrunch is the name of the calculator program i was trying top run.) I was able to run the program manually from a terminal window, and it opened a window as usual, complete with E's normal decorations. Then I tried it again from the menu, but got the same error message. In fact, any program i try to start from the menu gives a similar error. E's various dialogs open fine (e.g. settings), but external programs don't. I'm running E 0.18.8... Any idea what caused this?
