Hi, I'm also affected by this bug with ubuntu 9.10. Maybe it goes faster to trigger in my case as I have 2 monitors. It could be related to kdelibs as i installed them to be able to use Kate. And I noticed that kate used 1 client connection for each file opened as a tab in my kate window. Closing a kate with 3 tabs reduced my xlsclients | wc -l from 44 to 38 removing 4 kates and 2 knotify4. Isn't there a tweak to change xlsclients max value ?

I've tried killing gnome-screensaver which I suspect is the cause but the unknown resources remain?

I'll try it but I rely on my screensave to save me from oopses. Yes, I realize cold-boot attacks render screen-savers less secure than otherwise thought to be. But still, it provides some level of added safety. What I want to know is why all these troubles started after upgrading. (I think to Hardy??? I've lost track they've been plaguing me so long now).

This increase in numbers is consistent, and was caused simply by Right- Clicking on knetworkmanager and hitting escape... over and over again. 1425 1425 1425 1425 1426 1430 1434 1438 1442 1444 1448 1453 1458 1466 1472 1474 1474 1474 It seems that Maximum clients reached is more a symptom of it's own bug classification, which is indicative of any application not managing its X resources carefully. All applications (in all distributions) should undergo testing to prove they have no X resource leakage so to speak. Clearly writing a desktop systray-applet that misses reclaiming an X window here and there doesn't seem like that big a deal but apparently many apps are causing a big problem.

A little digging gives the following: libgnome-desktop/gnome-bg.c - both the gnome_bg_create_pixmap() and make_root_pixmap() function it calls are largely unchanged since this code was added - however that was only in November 2007 - previously libegg was used The change to use this function seems to have landed in gnome- screensaver in rev 1434, which is since hardy - however this isn't exactly a one line change! :-( -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 263211] Re: apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error
So I've analyzed the gnome-screensaver/gnome_bg_create_pixmap() problem a little further. I believe this is (arguably) a bug in libgnome- desktop: gnome_bg_create_pixmap() creates an X client with CloseDownMode set to RetainPermanent, and uses this client to create a new pixmap, which it then passes to gdk_pixmap_foreign_new(). However, when the ref count on this gdk pixmap drops to zero, gdk does not actually free the pixmap, because it has the is_foreign flag set (since it was created with gdk_pixmap_foreign_new()). So the dummy X client from libgnome-desktop is left with one pixmap forever. The problem is that libgnome-desktop just forgets about the pixmap it creates and passes to gdk_pixmap_foreign_new() as soon as gnome_bg_create_pixmap() returns, so it leaks. However I'm not sure what a good fix for this is yet. -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 263211] Re: apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error
Yes, I've been doing some debugging too, and in my setup gnome- screensaver is the culprit as well. Specifically it calls gnome_bg_create_pixmap() (from libgnome-desktop) with root == TRUE, which ends up creating a new connection to the X server, calling XSetCloseDownMode() to change to RetainPermanent, and then disconnecting. And in that case the X server keeps the client data structures around forever. I'm now reading through the gnome-screensaver code to figure out why it calls gnome_bg_create_pixmap() repeatedly. -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 263211] Re: apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error
Here's how to recreate the problem: When running gnome (you may need to install the xrestop package): xrestop -b -m 1 | grep 'unknown' | wc -l Then trigger the screensaver: gnome-screensaver-command -a Then run the xrestop command again. I see the number increase by 2 every time the screensaver starts. These windows never go away and eventually take up all the slots. It doesn't seem to matter which screensaver module you use. I don't see this when I trigger xscreensaver. -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 263211] Re: apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error
xrestop shows the problem very well. Over time there are a lot of clients with an id of 'unknown' eventually there are enough of them to hit the 255 client limit. I haven't been able to track down the responsible bit of software yet, but my environment really only has gnome + firefox (with more than a few plugins installed). -- apps-wont-open-due-to-maximum-clients-reached-error https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263211 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

After a while, no more X clients can be started, and I get the error 'Maximum number of clients reachedxlsclients: unable to open display :0.0' However if I close some client, then I am able to start another client.
