Arch Linux becoming unable to fork process because of Vivaldi

DevAles

I tested other browsers to see if the same issue occurs, but not, it's just in Vivaldi.
After a while using Vivaldi, my system become unable to fork processes.

@DevAles Welcome in our Vivaldi Community

Some useful links for you:

Do not hesitate to ask, we are a community to help users.

Enjoy browsing with Vivaldi.

@DevAles How do you recognize?
Any entries in syslogs?

My ideas:

Out of Inodes
Out of Memory
Check free
ulimit reached
Check ulimit -u
shm and others too small; /tmp full
Check df

@DoctorG I tried to open my shell and i got this error
sh: fork: retry resource temporarily unavailable

I tried to open my code editor and:
E903: Process failed to start: resoure temporarily unavaliable: "/usr/bin/nvim"

I tried to increase process limit in /etc/sysctl.conf but not works.

In dmesg, I have this:

DevAles

@DoctorG Memory is around 40%
I check ulimit and change the values, but not works.

df output:

DoctorG

@DevAles Check users open files:
sudo lsof -u <username> 2>/dev/null | wc -l

and limits
ulimit -a

DoctorG

@DevAles Oh, Vivaldi crashed, and perhaps ressourced are not freed after this by Linux.

DevAles

@DoctorG ulimit output:

lsof output:

DevAles

@DoctorG Log when i run vivaldi by shell:

And crashes

DoctorG

@DevAles Perhaps problem with glibc and creating threads.
I try to find in forum

DoctorG

@DevAles Which Vivaldi version?
Which Arch?
Which glibc?

I am out of ideas now.
You need someone who uses Arch more often.

@DoctorG vivaldi-6.1.3035.111-1
In host, i use archcraft.
But I installed vivaldi in a distrobox container, in Dockerfile says "archlinux:latest"
glibc version: 2.37

Oh, ok. I can not help and not tell how such install differs from a "real" arch distro. I test only with Virtualbox VMs.

@DoctorG I fixed the issue!

Reinstalling the container and trying increase the process limit again, just works!
