[Touch-packages] [Bug 1771329] Re: Can't open apps due to Too many open files

2018-10-15 Thread Joe Littlejohn
Not sure which part of this fixes the problem, but I don't have any
issues after I run the following:

echo '* hard nofile 2097152' | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo '* soft nofile 2097152' | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo 'root hard nofile 2097152' | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo 'root soft nofile 2097152' | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo 'session required pam_limits.so' | sudo tee -a /etc/pam.d/common-session
echo 'DefaultLimitNOFILE=2097152' | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/user.conf
echo 'DefaultLimitNOFILE=2097152' | sudo tee -a /etc/systemd/system.conf

Maybe it's all needed. Maybe only the last two lines are needed.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-05-16 Thread Joe Littlejohn
I tried the following:

echo '* hard nofile 65535' | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo '* soft nofile 65535' | sudo tee -a /etc/security/limits.conf
echo 'session required pam_limits.so' | sudo tee -a /etc/pam.d/common-session

then restarted.

This did not fix the issue. So that's one 'increase limits' strategy we
can rule out - it doesn't work for this particular problem.

I think there's a strong argument that the default max open files for
Ubuntu Desktop should be higher than it is now. Modern apps use a lot of
file handles.

2018-05-16 Thread Joe Littlejohn
Thanks @dino99. I've seen a lot of different suggestions for tackling
this error, so it would be good to understand exactly which config
change is the critical one.

I think this is a major bug on a newly installed system. As an Ubuntu
Desktop user I shouldn't be experiencing an issue where the OS stops me
from launching any new app once I have a few apps open. I shouldn't need
to go hunting through logs to and start googling for a solution, then
modify open file limits, just to run a handful of desktop applications.
