And, what is the limit set at? To find out, we'll use the ulimit command. Right now I have threads, threads, threads, threads.Д«ut why is there a limit anyway? Threads are cheap and I have lots of RAM. If you do the test you'll see that chromium and chrome use huge amounts of threads. #Count threads, shows more, don't know why Not sure which one is best, they give different answers: #Count all threads Here's some commands to count running threads on your system. The problem is that with a decent number of tabs both browser start hundreds of threads. But this bug appeared whenever I was running Chromium and Google Chrome, making me believe they couldn't be run together. I'm working on some stuff that requires using different browsers. I have all kinds of browsers installed on my computer, and I'm always messing around with their configurations. Cannot create shared memory buffer The FIX Some other side-effect messages appeared like: Creating shared memory in /dev/shm/.77EvR failed: Too many open files Java: : unable to create new native thread.Д¬hrome and Chromium: pthread_create error: Resource temporarily unavailableДЄn example of the pthread create bug on another program is here. Libreoffice: (similar bug here) osl::Thread::create failed Here's some of the messages I was getting. Well, it wasn't a memory issue, I was able to reproduce the issue with loads of memory still left over. I have somewhat agressive ram settings, but, I also have 16 GB of RAM on my computer. I thought it was a RAM issue, not having enough memory would cause programs to fail. It was quite undeterministic and depended on the system ressources being fairly well used. Some programs just started failing: libreoffice, chrome, chromium, firefox, eclipse.

I started running into a weird problem that I didn't immediately identify. Not enough threads or processes : 'thread create failed'Д«y Walter Rudametkin linux bug Posted 2014.04.10
