As an admin, the worst part of this issue was the fact that things would randomly stop working and lock up. Logins would inexplicably fail. All with no particular pattern, getting worse and worse... and yet the cause was not at all obvious. Nothing in daemon.log. Nothing in syslog. Nothing in messages. Nothing in dmesg. No pop ups on the desktop about anything being out of files. No indication that dbus was the culprit. While I do think that the default needs to be higher, my main objection is just how *silent* this system-wide disaster is.
Solving the problem was like administering Windows. All my usual voluminous logs were absolutely useless, and there was no obvious place to focus my efforts. -- dbus needs more than the default 1024 open files https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/381063 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
