Hi, I've searched high and low but couldn't find a satisfactory answer to the question: why do all KDE/Plasma apps warn "Failed to establish shared memory mapping, will fallback to private memory -- memory usage will increase"? I have /dev/shm mounted (tmpfs) and /dev/shm has drwxrwxrwt mode bits, /run/shm is a symbolic link to /dev/shm What I find curious is that when I start the same app as root it doesn't show the warning, but I can't for the life of me understand why I can't establish shared memory as a user and can as root? /dev/shm contains file that have pulse-shm in their name, and ipcs -a shows me many shared memory segments? So why can't KDE apps establish shared memory? Martin ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
