Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.22.2-1
My /etc/security/limits.d/local.conf says
* soft nofile 4096
* hard nofile 16584
root soft nofile 4096
root hard nofile 16584
But within gnome-terminal I just get
% egrep ^Limit\|open /proc/$$/limits
Limit Soft Limit Hard Limit Units
Max open files 1024 4096 files
Using other terminal emulators (xterm, xfce4-terminal) there
is no such problem.
This breaks my apps. gnome-terminal and gnome-terminal-server
should resepct the ulimits initially set via pam_limits.so at
login time and inherited from the calling process.
