Hi guys,
in last days i'm severely bugged by some resource limits on my machine..my applications fail to run
etc.
I'm running on a netbook that is slow by default, but i've been on it for a few years and it was ok.
I'm running normal KDE, IM client, kmail, firefox (with a lot, cca 30) tabs open, a konsole and
netbeans ide.
The thing is I remember I once played with some limits to avoid forkbombs etc..so my question is if
you could point me to some files to check for configs?
This is my top output:

Ulimit says
$ ulimit -a
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 30
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 16028
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 80000
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8

stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 250
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited
and I use pm-utils, should that matter?
I used to run the system under similar load and it was ok, now eg. my compiles in netbeans fail,
says OutOfMemoryException or sometimes cannot create a new native thread. (openjdk), also
command line tools fail with things like
$ man scdaemon
man: fork failed: Resource temporarily unavailable
I wonder is it the memory consumed by netbeans or some number of process/open files limit or
something?
I'm glad for any suggestions, as now if i want to develop in java, i have to shut down browser, chat
and even though...
Thank you, Mark
PS: i know..but now i'd not like to hear suggestions like using a lighter DE or buying better hw ;)
