[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1045899] Re: Maximum number of clients reached
Yes, it's still a problem (12.04LTS with updates as of Dec 19 '13). I don't know of any way to reliably/consistently reproduce it. I encounter it after 1-4 days of normal usage, which would be difficult to duplicate with a development release. Perhaps one of the other affected parties can try. Any suggestions would be appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1045899 Title: Maximum number of clients reached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1045899/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 910539] Re: maximum number of clients reached
This is looking more and more like a X server resource leak. I reached this state again after a couple of days (as I usually do) and tried to capture some information to compare with the clean-state data, so I closed everything I had open until I had only the clients that I normally have right after login. Then I started running xwininfo with different options. After successfully running xwininfo several times I suddenly got Maximum number of clients reachedxwininfo: error: unable to open display :0.0 I literally had not run anything else other than a few shell commands. I seriously doubt xwininfo is leaking handles. Later, when I'm not doing real work, I'll try to script something to see if I can create a failure. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910539 Title: maximum number of clients reached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/910539/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 910539] Re: maximum number of clients reached
I don't think this is an issue with a hardcoded constant in X, not unless someone recently made it much smaller. I hadn't seen this problem at all in 15+ years of using Linux/X, not until upgrading from 10.04LTS to 12.04LTS. More likely it's a newly introduced resource leak in X or gnome. I'm using the nVidia driver. I hit this yesterday and had to log out/restart X, and I'm already hitting it again today. After killing everything except a single terminal and this instance of Firefox I notice out of 244 root window children over 160 instances of this sort: 0xc001b9 (has no name): () 238x196+842+518 +842+518 2 children: 0xc001ba (has no name): () 236x164+1+27 +843+545 0xc001bb (has no name): () 238x196+0+0 +842+518 They're all children of the root window. There are some duplicates, for instance (ignoring their 2 children): 0xc01660 (has no name): () 1077x1052+850+154 +850+154 0xc016b1 (has no name): () 1077x1052+324+118 +324+118 0xc017ea (has no name): () 1077x1052+850+154 +850+154 0xc01877 (has no name): () 1077x1052+850+154 +850+154 0xc018fb (has no name): () 1077x1052+850+154 +850+154 0xc01947 (has no name): () 1077x1052+850+154 +850+154 0xc019cc (has no name): () 1077x1052+850+154 +850+154 0xc01a45 (has no name): () 1077x1052+850+154 +850+154 I used to think it was xscreensaver, but I disabled that. I have no screensaver process running now. The only strange thing that might be related is a shell script I run that fires off xplanet every 5 minutes to generate a jpeg and then calls gconftool -t str -s /desktop/gnome/background/picture_filename file.jpg to update the background image. xlsclients john gnome-session john gnome-settings-daemon john gnome-panel john gnome-fallback-mount-helper john rainlendar2 john polkit-gnome-authentication-agent-1 john devilspie john gtk-window-decorator john notify-osd john gdu-notification-daemon john telepathy-indicator john indicator-applet john gweather-applet-2 john indicator-applet-session john indicator-printers-service john evolution-alarm-notify john gnome-terminal john firefox Any suggestions on how to debug this would be appreciated. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to fglrx-installer in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/910539 Title: maximum number of clients reached To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/910539/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

This is a serious regression. I never had any problem like this through all the releases of Ubuntu I've used. This has been a non-stop annoyance ever since upgrading to 12.04LTS.
