Package: gnome-shell Version: 46.4-1 Severity: important Using debian unstable with linux version 6.10.11 and both sessions have same default settings. I do not have any custom settings set, I have checked these files:
/etc/security/limits.conf /etc/security/limits.d/*.conf /etc/sysctl.conf /etc/sysctl.d/*.conf /etc/systemd/system.conf /etc/systemd/user.conf There are no systemd overrides for following services. Here is how it looks like: user@home:~$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE wayland user@home:~$ systemctl show gnome-shell.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=1073741816 LimitNOFILESoft=1073741816 user@home:~$ systemctl show gnome-shell-wayland.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=1073741816 LimitNOFILESoft=1073741816 user@home:~$ systemctl show user@1000.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=524288 LimitNOFILESoft=1024 user@home:~$ systemctl show gnome-shell-wayland.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=1073741816 LimitNOFILESoft=1073741816 user@home:~$ systemctl show gdm.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=524288 LimitNOFILESoft=1024 user@home:~$ cat /proc/$(pgrep gnome-shell$)/limits Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units Max cpu time unlimited unlimited seconds Max file size unlimited unlimited bytes Max data size unlimited unlimited bytes Max stack size 8388608 unlimited bytes Max core file size 0 unlimited bytes Max resident set unlimited unlimited bytes Max processes 127437 127437 processes Max open files 1073741816 1073741816 files Max locked memory 4196806656 4196806656 bytes Max address space unlimited unlimited bytes Max file locks unlimited unlimited locks Max pending signals 127437 127437 signals Max msgqueue size 819200 819200 bytes Max nice priority 0 0 Max realtime priority 0 0 Max realtime timeout 200000 200000 us ==== Then on X11 user@home:~$ echo $XDG_SESSION_TYPE x11 user@home:~$ systemctl show gnome-shell.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=1073741816 LimitNOFILESoft=1073741816 user@home:~$ systemctl show gnome-shell-wayland.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=1073741816 LimitNOFILESoft=1073741816 user@home:~$ systemctl show user@1000.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=524288 LimitNOFILESoft=1024 user@home:~$ systemctl show gnome-shell-wayland.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=1073741816 LimitNOFILESoft=1073741816 user@home:~$ systemctl show gdm.service | grep NOFILE LimitNOFILE=524288 LimitNOFILESoft=1024 user@home:~$ cat /proc/$(pgrep gnome-shell$)/limits Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units Max cpu time unlimited unlimited seconds Max file size unlimited unlimited bytes Max data size unlimited unlimited bytes Max stack size 8388608 unlimited bytes Max core file size 0 unlimited bytes Max resident set unlimited unlimited bytes Max processes 127437 127437 processes Max open files 1024 1073741816 files Max locked memory 4196806656 4196806656 bytes Max address space unlimited unlimited bytes Max file locks unlimited unlimited locks Max pending signals 127437 127437 signals Max msgqueue size 819200 819200 bytes Max nice priority 0 0 Max realtime priority 0 0 Max realtime timeout 200000 200000 us === As you can see "Max open files" is 1024 on X11 and 1073741816 in Wayland. Because of this I am running into an issue while launching flatpak apps through ArcMenu extension or actually any xdg-open request which is handled by flatpak application through a gnome extension. As brwap tries to close all the open file descriptors before launching the app, the 1073741816 limit causes very slow start of the app.
