Hi, Some times i am not able to open more than "n" number of xterms in my X ( fvwm2 ). 'n' varies but the error I get while trying to open xterm through another x term is
$ xterm xterm: Error 29, errno 35: Resource temporarily unavailable Reason: spawn: fork() failed If I try to open aterm through another aterm i get. $ aterm aterm: can't fork aterm: aborting Sometimes $ls jut hangs! What could be the trouble? Thanks Siju $ dmesg OpenBSD 4.5-stable (GENERIC) #0: Tue Jun 2 10:15:05 IST 2009 r...@risen.hifxchn2.local:/usr/src/sys/arch/i386/compile/GENERIC cpu0: Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 CPU 2.80GHz ("GenuineIntel" 686-class) 2.81 GHz cpu0: FPU,V86,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,PAE,MCE,CX8,APIC,SEP,MTRR,PGE,MCA,CMOV,PAT,PSE36,CFLUSH,DS,ACPI,MMX,FXSR,SSE,SSE2,SS,HTT,TM,SBF,SSE3,MWAIT,DS-CPL,CNXT-ID,xTPR real mem = 2113433600 (2015MB) avail mem = 2035261440 (1940MB) mainbus0 at root bios0 at mainbus0: AT/286+ BIOS, date 06/02/05, BIOS32 rev. 0 @ 0xfa830, SMBIOS rev. 2.3 @ 0xf0800 (40 entries) bios0: vendor Phoenix Technologies, LTD version "6.00 PG" date 06/02/2005 bios0: Acer Aspire SA60 acpi0 at bios0: rev 0 acpi0: tables DSDT FACP APIC acpi0: wakeup devices USB0(S5) USB1(S5) USB2(S5) USB3(S5) MAC0(S5) AMR0(S4) UAR1(S5) PS2M(S5) PS2K(S4) PCI0(S5) acpitimer0 at acpi0: 3579545 Hz, 24 bits acpimadt0 at acpi0 addr 0xfee00000: PC-AT compat cpu0 at mainbus0: apid 0 (boot processor) cpu0: apic clock running at 133MHz ioapic0 at mainbus0: apid 2 pa 0xfec00000, version 14, 24 pins acpiprt0 at acpi0: bus 0 (PCI0) acpicpu0 at acpi0 acpitz0 at acpi0: critical temperature 90 degC acpibtn0 at acpi0: PWRB bios0: ROM list: 0xc0000/0x8000 0xc8000/0x4000!
