Hi guys, in last days i'm severely bugged by some resource limits on my machine..my applications fail to run etc. I'm running on a netbook that is slow by default, but i've been on it for a few years and it was ok. I'm running normal KDE, IM client, kmail, firefox (with a lot, cca 30) tabs open, a konsole and netbeans ide. The thing is I remember I once played with some limits to avoid forkbombs etc..so my question is if you could point me to some files to check for configs? This is my top output: $ top top - 22:19:59 up 1 day, 7:19, 3 users, load average: 1.06, 1.56, 1.34 Tasks: 199 total, 1 running, 196 sleeping, 0 stopped, 2 zombie Cpu(s): 1.8%us, 2.5%sy, 0.0%ni, 95.7%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.0%si, 0.0%st Mem: 2055224k total, 1748036k used, 307188k free, 13632k buffers Swap: 2561304k total, 938420k used, 1622884k free, 1119728k cached PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 20689 marek 20 0 223m 60m 17m S 4 3.0 2:08.92 skype 1322 root 20 0 113m 21m 4552 S 1 1.1 65:50.10 X 3385 marek 20 0 6124 840 604 S 1 0.0 15:13.67 scdaemon 6421 marek 20 0 936m 137m 16m S 1 6.9 0:59.12 java 6832 marek 20 0 2576 1032 756 R 1 0.1 0:01.37 top 3216 marek 20 0 115m 12m 7156 S 1 0.6 31:17.96 konsole 22696 marek 20 0 177m 8828 5240 S 1 0.4 6:52.92 kget 2707 marek 20 0 5576 344 212 S 0 0.0 2:52.82 gpg-agent 3275 marek 20 0 119m 5124 3136 S 0 0.2 2:36.09 kleopatra 3449 marek 20 0 101m 4280 2720 S 0 0.2 0:57.63 klipper 6451 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:23.52 kworker/0:2 1 root 20 0 1880 24 0 S 0 0.0 0:19.49 init 2 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.06 kthreadd 3 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:03.84 ksoftirqd/0 6 root RT 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 migration/0 13 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 cpuset 14 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 khelper 15 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 netns 16 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.25 sync_supers 17 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 bdi-default 18 root 0 -20 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.00 kblockd 20 root 20 0 0 0 0 S 0 0.0 0:00.14 khungtaskd Ulimit says $ ulimit -a core file size (blocks, -c) 0 data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited scheduling priority (-e) 30 file size (blocks, -f) unlimited pending signals (-i) 16028 max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 80000 max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited open files (-n) 1024 pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8 POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200 real-time priority (-r) 75 stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192 cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited max user processes (-u) 250 virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited file locks (-x) unlimited and I use pm-utils, should that matter? I used to run the system under similar load and it was ok, now eg. my compiles in netbeans fail, says OutOfMemoryException or sometimes cannot create a new native thread. (openjdk), also command line tools fail with things like $ man scdaemon man: fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable I wonder is it the memory consumed by netbeans or some number of process/open files limit or something? I'm glad for any suggestions, as now if i want to develop in java, i have to shut down browser, chat and even though... Thank you, Mark PS: i know..but now i'd not like to hear suggestions like using a lighter DE or buying better hw ;) -- Marek Otahal :o)
