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.
well yea, mine has looked like this:
/etc/security/limits.conf
#This file sets the resource limits for the users logged in via PAM. #It does not affect resource limits of the system services.
#Also note that configuration files in /etc/security/limits.d directory, #which are read in alphabetical order, override the settings in this #file in case the domain is the same or more specific. #That means, for example, that setting a limit for wildcard domain here #can be overridden with a wildcard setting in a config file in the #subdirectory, but a user specific setting here can be overridden only #with a user specific setting in the subdirectory.
#Each line describes a limit for a user in the form:
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#Where: #<domain> can be:
- a user name
- a group name, with @group syntax
- the wildcard *, for default entry
- the wildcard %, can be also used with %group syntax,
for maxlogin limit
#<type> can have the two values:
- “soft” for enforcing the soft limits
- “hard” for enforcing hard limits
#<item> can be one of the following:
- core - limits the core file size (KB)
- data - max data size (KB)
- fsize - maximum filesize (KB)
- memlock - max locked-in-memory address space (KB)
- nofile - max number of open file descriptors
- rss - max resident set size (KB)
- stack - max stack size (KB)
- cpu - max CPU time (MIN)
- nproc - max number of processes
- as - address space limit (KB)
- maxlogins - max number of logins for this user
- maxsyslogins - max number of logins on the system
- priority - the priority to run user process with
- locks - max number of file locks the user can hold
- sigpending - max number of pending signals
- msgqueue - max memory used by POSIX message queues (bytes)
- nice - max nice priority allowed to raise to values: [-20, 19]
- rtprio - max realtime priority
#<domain> <type> <item> <value>
#* soft core 0 #@student hard nproc 20 #@faculty soft nproc 20 #@faculty hard nproc 50
End of file
for some hours and I’ve rebooted my pc multiple times it’s weird idk.
