Package: feh Version: 3.9.1-2 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
Today I'm getting the following error whenever I try to run feh:
feh WARNING: inotify_init failed: Too many open files
feh WARNING: Disabling inotify-based auto-reload
*** bit out of range 0 - FD_SETSIZE on fd_set ***: terminated
Aborted
It turns out that inotify_init() has the very low limit of 128 instances
per user by default, and lsof shows they are mostly used by instances of
dbus-daemon, dconf-service, and xdg-desktop-portal.
feh_main_iteration() calls FD_SET(opt.inotify_fd, &fdset) if auto_reload
is enabled, regardless of whether inotify_fd is valid. It also needs to
check 'opt.inotify_fd >= 0' in the 'if' statement.
A workaround is to use the --reload=0 command line option.
