Bug ID: 463662
Summary: ulimits file is not yeilding results, Will not persist
after reboot and / or present in current session
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org
Reporter: millerma...@gmx.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
***
The /etc/security/limits.conf file is not being updated after a reboot. the
changes are present in the file though no action by fedora KDE and the problem
is not present in any other Fedora Spin other than KDE Spin of Fedora 37/36
This was tested and iterated over multiple systems and different editions of
linux. Only KDE presented the bug.
After reboot, booting into multi-user.target i was successfully able to make
the change persistent as long as i did not kall kde to the session.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Edit the limits.conf to allow more file descriptors. -n ,
2. check ulimit -a to show no change while live and to confirm before reboot,
3. Reboot
4. Check ulimit -a (changes to file descriptor limits not changed)
5. Reset the limits to default
6. Reboot into multi-user.target
7. Change file descriptor limits again and ulimit -a
8, Reboot to the same mode
9, ulimit - a and you will see the changes have applied in multi-user.target
and not in the default.target
OBSERVED RESULT
changes only occur in a command line boot only and when set only for the
current terminal sessions by manually setting ulimit 12345
EXPECTED RESULT
file descriptor (or any other changes to that file) limits would changed based
on correct calculated numbers, though it returns as standard 1024
