sysadmin-bugs, tmb I ran into a similar problem and found a fix for it. A similar bug was reported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer/+bug/910539 The bug report blames fglrx-installer. Renaming /etc/ati/atiapfuser.blb to something else does seem to fix on my end. If something else is causing this for you, try running as root: lsof -p `pidof X` If there's an overabundance of open files towards the end. See what package it came from. CC:

Is this file needed? http://www.mail-archive.com/ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com/msg4074154.html I found this and do as following: lsof -p 'pid of X' | grep atiapfuser I got about 199 entries of /etc/ati/atiapfuser. Seems we could confirm that this file is the origin of the bug. Should we just remove it? Source RPM:

Shouldn't hurt anything to remove it. I renamed it the first time (just in case), but the last update put it back. This time I deleted it. Adding Anssi who may know more about it.

anssi.hannula, eeeemail I had removed the file for more than 2 weeks. It works very well. So the solution seems clear: Remove this empty file? Ping!. Just ran into this one again, on a test install where I'd forgotten to remove the file. This is with x11-driver-video-fglrx-12.104-3.mga3.nonfree CC:

davidwhodgins Release media for M3/M4 will not change. There is a newer rpm in M5 which I assume fixes the problem. This BR is unchanged for 15 months so I am closing as OLD. Anyone with good cause: please reopen against current release media (M5+). Thanks. Status:

After running the Mageia 3 Gnome Live DVD for a few hours, opening and closing lots of applications, installing gnome extensions, etc, now I can no longer launch any new applications. If I try to launch them at the command line, I get the following: [live@localhost ~]$ gnome-tweak-tool Maximum number of clients reached ** (gnome-tweak-tool:5069): WARNING **: Could not open X display Maximum number of clients reachedTraceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/gnome-tweak-tool", line 74, in <module> from gtweak.mainwindow import MainWindow File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/gtweak/mainwindow.py", line 20, in <module> from gi.repository import Gtk File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/importer.py", line 76, in load_module dynamic_module._load() File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/module.py", line 244, in _load overrides_modules = __import__('gi.overrides', fromlist=[self._namespace]) File "/usr/lib64/python2.7/site-packages/gi/overrides/Gtk.py", line 1624, in <module> raise RuntimeError("Gtk couldn't be initialized") RuntimeError: Gtk couldn't be initialized [live@localhost ~]$ shotwell Maximum number of clients reached ** (shotwell:5297): WARNING **: Could not open X display Maximum number of clients reachedCannot open display: Run 'shotwell --help' to see a full list of available command line options.
