OpenSUSE Install :: Maximum Number Of X Display Failures Reached?
May 4, 2009
I tried ubuntu for a few weeks, but I couldn't get the nvidia drivers to work, I tried everything. So, I got sick of that, and went to download OpenSuse, which seems to be even nicer (..... ) I downloaded the 11.1 liveCD (gnome) from here. I nicley got the welcome screen, and the option screen (liveCD, check errors etc.). I chose LiveCD and it started booting, I got the splash screen with the loading bar, and after it completely loaded, the screen turns black with a lot of messages and at the end:
Code:
GdmLocalDisplayFactory: Maximum number of X display failures reached: Check X server log for errors.
Great, I hoped for better luck after Ubuntu..
My sys. specs:
Asus F3Sc 32bit
Intel CentrinoDuo
Ever since upgrading to Fedora 14, my system has been almost unusable. I can only have a few windows of anything open before I start getting messages about:
Maximum number of clients reachedMaximum number of clients reachedMaximum number of clients reachedMaximum number of clients reachedxwininfo: unable to open display ':0.0'
I am unable to open any new windows then and lots of programs crash.
In the last week or so, I've frequently been running out of X server client connection slots and getting "Maximum number of clients reached" errors. For example, I'm getting it right now and I'm running 3 pterms, Chrome, and Thunderbird; I've even killed my panel. 'xwininfo -root -children' produces what seems to be an absurd number of X clients (150-ish, when it's able to make a connection), even immediately after Gnome/Xfce startup.
It doesn't take long. A day at most. I've had this system up and running for months, and this just started happening. I did install some X development libraries (x11proto-core-dev, libmotif-dev, x11proto-print-dev, and x11proto-xext-dev plus their dependencies) about two weeks ago, but this problem has not been happening that long. I've installed other packages, but nothing that would seem to have any relation to this problem. I've logged out and in, rebooted, and changed from Gnome to Xfce, and none of the changes helped.
I have done nothing with the system, but starting this morning, i experienced a strange condition on my desktop. I'm unable to open any applications at all. It will close instantly.
When i tried to run from terminal, it will give me an error like this:

I checked using
Code:
And i got around 234 which is too much that it takes almost all of the open files allowed. Logging out to text and brings back X will solve the problem, but it's only a temporary solution until X opens more sockets again. I'm running -Current (32 bit)
It seems that there's a hackish solution in here: [url]. Dunno whether it's a nice solution or not, but i'm willing to try it.
I with one problem to open files on terminal. By example, I open the thunar on terminal, see the error:
gustavo@universe /media/montagem $ thunar (process:7902): Gtk-WARNING **: Locale not supported by C library. Using the fallback 'C' locale. Maximum number of clients reachedThunar: Cannot open display: gustavo@universe /media/montagem $ ^C
When I try to delete a file, ( move to trash ) It says , The trash has reached It's maximum size! clean the trash manually. When I click on the trash icon on desktop it is empty. Where is the trash? Where can I delete these files ?
I have a fresh install of OpenSUSE 11.4 64bit and I have installed the AMD Display drivers for my Radeon HD 5970. Everything seems to be working quite well. I have a multiple monitor setup (1280x1024 monitor and a 1920x1080 monitor).
I have my primary display set to 1920x1080, however when I try to enable the second display, I get a CRTC error that the display is over the maximum (1920x1920). If I enable both monitors at lower resolutions, there is no problem.
I have done a fair bit of reading and have been unable to determine where this maximum is set, or how to change it. I'd like to be able to run both monitors at their native resolutions.
At first log-in as user all was fine yesterday. Today I must have rebooted for the first time because it was all different. I tried to log-in to KDE this morning and it failed with some weird error messages that don't repeat here. It seems it all boils down to the fact that the /tmp folder has the wrong permissions. Whatever I try it always has the permission 755.
It is an encrypted /tmp permission mounted in fstab like this:
I tried to go into rescue mode and change the permissions of the folder, but nothing helps. In rescue mode it is like it is in my OS 11.2 on another computer:
I was wondering what is the maximum number of partition on an GPT-partitionned drive under Linux. The GPT partition table can contain up to 128 partitions, but the device nodes for /dev/sda? (as described here, block device of major number 8) only allow /dev/sda1 up to /dev/sda15. Does that means that there cannot be more that 15 partitions on a drive, even on a GPT-partitionned drive?
How many users is it possible to set on Ubuntu 10.10? I have an Edubuntu LTSP system for a school (10 clients) and I wish to setup an user for each student/teacher (about 200).
Is there a limit to the number of files ext3 can support?
Reason I'm asking is because on one of my internal drives, I have around 750,000 files. The drive is 500Gb and currently using 150Gb... I noticed recently that when I try to copy a new directory or file, the transfer rate is extremely slow at times. It is sataII and sometimes it gets as low as 500kb/s (yes, kb!)
Would somebody please shed some light?
I noticed it might be related to the process gvfsd-metadata
I really need to know this for a linux server, but since it also applies to client OSes, I figured the question should be posed here instead of server fault.
I would like to ask you if there is any maximum allowed number of files per folder in linux (without risking it to lose everything). I am using openuse 11.4 with latest kde (4.6?).
I am trying something fast and dirty and it might be that one folder will contain like 10^6 files.
Is there is anything I should be warned about that?
I have a 32-bit Linux server with an ext3 file system. Is there any kind of upper-limit to the number of hard links I am allowed to use? (Per inode...? Per directory...? Per filesystem...?) And (just out of curiosity) would this be any different if I had a 64-bit machine or a different file system?
I just installed maverick on my son's netbook, and so far we like the new unity interface. The main issue is that there seems to be a maximum number of apps that can be listed under any particular category in the applications browser. So for instance when he goes to his "Games" category, it only lists applications up through S (he has a lot of games installed).
So far I haven't found a settings panel for unity. There has to be a way to bump up the maximum.
I am created one udp socket. i want to send the data(bytes) to another PC.i need to send 614400 bytes of data. while sending it saying error like" message is too long ". so what is the maximum possible data can i send from a socket?
While searching for the maximum numbers of CPUs supported by CentOS 5 x86_64 I found the following page: [URL]. The question I have regarding the specified information ("64/255" logical CPUs) is, which number means what. Does this mean 64 real CPUs with a maximum of 255 cores/hyperthreaded CPUs or something similar or totally different?
What is the maximum number of virtual network interfaces possible?I would like to create around 300 or so. This is needed to simulate a 300 node network.

what the maximum number of logical volumes is for a volume group in LVM ? Is there any known performance hit for creating a large number of small logical volumes vs a small number of large volumes ?
When i ssh to server using -X, i always confuse about which display number i should export. It seems to me sometimes the display number has been used by something, so what i can do is only
I have a brand new computer with an ATI Radeon HD5850 video card I have a LCD monitor with a native resolution of 1920x1080. I installed Debian Testing 2.6.32-5-amd64
Because I have several machine, I use a KVM (switch keyboard) in the middle. This KVM is quite old but still work correctly only problem is that it don't forward the EDID information. Until now it wasn't a problem, and by specifying the correct parameters of the monitor in /etc/X11/xorg.conf , I always succeed to reach the 1920x1080 resolution
In installed the proprietary drivers from ATI Catalyst 10.6 (last version)
since I have 2 problems : first in the console I used framebuffer in 1280x1024x32. Before installation of the ATI drivers, it was ok, now the screen is completely black !! on every tty (I didn't investigate much on this trouble yet)
Second problem: I can't reach the native resolution of my monitor ! No matter what I'm doing, the best the driver propose is 1600x1200 !!
I made a lot of test and modification in xorg.conf but without success, it always goes back to this resolution and never propose something higher For information, if I connect the monitor directly to the video card (removing the KVM), everything is OK and the resolution is automatically set to 1920x1080
I just installed openSuse11.3 on my desktop, but when I switch on my pc, windows starts aumatically. I can run openSuse only if I insert installation cd, select BOOT FORM HARD DISK and then Grub appears...I have a problem also with screen resolution, I installed nVidia drivers, but the maximum resolution is 1024X768...
I can reach the internet just fine with OpenSuSE but when i try to dig mx gmail.com
;<<>> DiG 9.7.3-P3 <<>> mx gmail.com ;; global options: +cmd ;; connection timed out; no servers could be reached
I don't know what to do, YaST always seems like it'll time out but eventually it reaches the internet. Can anyone give me some diagnostic commands to see what is slowing down the network on the server I'm running?
I can't connect to imap or smtp ports remotely.
Edit: I left out one thing, this is a mail server and a web server. Both are not currently being used as this is a fresh install of OpenSuSE
All other devices work fine with dig. Its just the server.
I am using Fedora 12 and i have enable XDMCP i have boot client with dhcp all is going well but when remote user logout than remote client display XDMCP: fatal error: Session declined Maximum number of open sessions. and after that i have reboot Fedora 12 server than it will work but after logout it will again create same problem.
