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

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1771329] Re: Can't open apps due to Too many open files
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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771329 Title: Can't open apps due to Too many open files Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Occasionally I find that I can't launch a new terminal, or can't achieve some other desktop task.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1771329] Re: Can't open apps due to Too many open files
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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771329 Title: Can't open apps due to Too many open files Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Occasionally I find that I can't launch a new terminal, or can't achieve some other desktop task.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1771329] Re: Can't open apps due to Too many open files
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. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to dbus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1771329 Title: Can't open apps due to Too many open files Status in dbus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Occasionally I find that I can't launch a new terminal, or can't achieve some other desktop task.
