Ok so I am on voidlinux. doing “ulimit -Hn” outputs “4096” And I can only move it down until 1024 or whatever with that command but temporally anyways. So I edited /etc/security/limits.conf and added “* hard nofile 1048576” at the end, but nothing happened, I’ve tried slightly different configurations of the file and still nothing. I have also rebooted multiple times so idk what’s wrong.
Solved: First I was trying to change the number of open files limit or whatever apparently, second games still don’t work, they’re just as laggy and still crash but now without an error message in lutris specifically :thumbs up: Anyways I just followed this quote from the r/voidlinux subreddit “in /etc/pam.d/login add the line session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so to the bottom then do the same for the file associated with your DM i.e. /etc/pam.d/lightdm” and then rebooted or whatever.
Did you try with 64k instead of 1 million in the file and rebooting? If that doesn’t work, then idk what will work.
No, it didn’t work, what I did find weird is that I can login as even root or any other even new user and it says 4096 but if I enter the sudo shell it does the number I put in the file.
I found something on reddit.
The link they pointed t´
It works! :D Quoting the thing “in /etc/pam.d/login add the line session required /lib/security/pam_limits.so to the bottom then do the same for the file associated with your DM i.e. /etc/pam.d/lightdm”
Oh I found a similar thing in the voidlinux subreddit I should’ve probably checked reddit idk.
oh yea it’s probably something like that, if I go directly to console to login it works like it should, I can’t start any DEs like that cuz they’re not setup but yea, and I guess the sudo thing works for some weird reason related. Also I think you got like cutoff.
