It looks like the cause is that it's running into your user limit of (by default) 1024 files open at a time. It's possible that another application you're running is leaving file handles open, or legitimately using a lot (torrent clients are notorious for this.) You can increase this limit by adding the following lines in /etc/security/limits.conf:
* hard nofile 4096 * soft nofile 4096 You'll need to reboot for the change to take effect. There's a brainstorm open to increase this setting by default, however, this can cause performance issues on slower machines: http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/15276/ -- Pidgin randomly crashes https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/298820 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
