Check:
ipcs -m | wc -l
vs
cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmni

If close or over, increase the latter.

You can use ipcs -pm to try to figure out which processes are allocating too many shared memory segments instead of using larger, merged segments.

Is this still happening in a recent version of Plasma, such as 5.19 or later?
