So Chromium is definitely causing the x client limit to be hit, but "not
always"... It's really odd, and I can't explain it.
So at prior recommendations, I began using watch on results of
"xlsclients | wc -l", ulimit -n, and a cat on /pro/sys/fs/file-nr
(another representation of file handling), and I've been using the
desktop fine before over night/this morning without hitting limits.
Weird part is, until something apparently "pops", it'll work fine. A
fresh reboot, with chrome launched usually has 120 x client sessions in
use, with Chrome and Chromium both. Once whatever it is breaks, goes
haywire, whatever, I kill chromium, it returns to 135 sessions in use,
and launching it again drives it instantly over the max.
With Chromium open
/pro/sys/fs/file-nr shows 20.5k file allocations at the time
ulimit -n shows 524,288 at the moment
xlsclients | wc -l == Maximum number of clients reachedxlsclients:
unable to open display ":0"
Killing Chromium
/pro/sys/fs/file-nr shows 17.5k file allocations at the time
ulimit -n shows 524,288 at the moment
xlsclients | wc -l == 135
Sadly I'm almost at a point where I can't NOT use chromium with work
dependencies on google-based services and extensions that simply don't
have equal or exist under firefox, or I'd simply banish this thing to
hell. I'm not even sure I can systrace effectively what is wigging out
chromium since it's so entirely threaded, but apparently I need to do
some "debug chrome|chromium stupidity 101" today.
