<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Ah, xbmc/kodi seems to be a big reason.<br>
<br>
Fired kodi up to catch certain season ending content tonight, and
yeah, took me from 118 xclients before to max after. At least I
got to watch though.<br>
<br>
I tried to launch something after moving it to the background, no
launch, no error, just usual telltale signs of brokenness, so
checked...<br>
<br>
mb@host:~$ xlsclients -a | sort | wc -l<br>
Maximum number of clients reachedxlsclients: unable to open
display ":0"<br>
0<br>
<br>
Thought what changed from an hour ago, nothing more than launching
kodi. Killed it (kill -9 pids, kodi wouldn't die otherwise), and
voila.<br>
<br>
mb@host:~$ xlsclients -a | sort | wc -l<br>
118<br>
<br>
As usual, probably plugins developed on windoze that doesn't
bother to limit exploit of the os (probably more encouraged by the
nsa). But hey, at least I know I need to yell at someone there to
figure out how to code it and their plugins properly.<br>
<br>
Just an fyi.<br>
<br>
Side note, this isn't the ultimate evil it seems but a significant
one. Tried to launch a gl-based game last night too, and get
things like sdl() failures to spawn a window, so there's something
else getting run-down over time. Craptastic part is absolutely
nothing errors system-wise, even doing a blanket tail -f on
/var/log/*, hoping something would bark to indicate such. I still
think amd binary drivers are crap.<br>

It's gotten *that* unstable lately, it's hardly worse than
rebooting every few days.<br>
