The error message is pretty clear: you've got too many open files. You'll have to find a way to have fewer open files, or raise the open file limit on your system. This isn't a KDE problem; it's more of a whole system integration problem, which makes it a distro thing. I'd recommend contacting Debian about it. |
SUMMARY I'm getting a =Too many open files= error. I believe it has caused a system freeze that required a hard reboot. I see it more often when running =tail -f= or even just =dolphin .= in the terminal. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use computer for a while 2. dolphin . 3. See: kf.solid.backends.fstab: Failed to acquire watch file descriptor Too many open files Also, output of =journalctl -b -1= after a hard crash included the same message.
