[xubuntu-users] "failed to fork (Resource temporarily unavailable)"
Xubuntu friends, greetings. I've recently been trying to install Xubuntu on a Dell Optiplex 9020 (i5, 8GB, HDD), and I can get it up and running, but when I start moving my old files over using deja-dup, programs stop launching and start raising "failed to fork (Resource temporarily unavailable)" errors in the GUI. Has anyone seen this? I found one online forum where someone attributed this problem to systemd, so I tried doing the same thing on MX Linux, and the same thing happened. I'd be grateful for any hints about what might be the issue. I'm wondering whether the hardware might be faulty. Let me know if there are particular data points that could help clarify the problem—I know I have been less than rigorous in specifying it. Thank you in advance! -- xubuntu-users mailing list xubuntu-users@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/xubuntu-users

Is this "the number of open files" problem? https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/36841/why-is-number-of-open-files-limited-in-linux https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-increase-the-maximum-number-of-open-files/ Marc -- The "Penguin" has arrived - and he's not going away - ever.
