Hi I recently installed ubuntu 12.04 and I am having trouble permanently setting ulimits to what I want. It does it temporarily but even that does not solve the memory problem. I cant open ardour, jack or any other software and watch a video at the same time... please help .. I have searched endlessly and cant find what I am looking for...Thanks

This is what it is set to:

core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 21848
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 1024
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority (-r) 0
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) 21848
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited

This is what I want:
core file size (blocks, -c) 0
data seg size (kbytes, -d) unlimited
scheduling priority (-e) 0
file size (blocks, -f) unlimited
pending signals (-i) 21848
max locked memory (kbytes, -l) 64
max memory size (kbytes, -m) unlimited
open files (-n) 90000
pipe size (512 bytes, -p) 8
POSIX message queues (bytes, -q) 819200
real-time priority (-r) 0
stack size (kbytes, -s) 8192
cpu time (seconds, -t) unlimited
max user processes (-u) unlimited
virtual memory (kbytes, -v) unlimited
file locks (-x) unlimited

I need max user process and open files to be changed permanantly

Thanks

You're unlikely to find help with Ubuntu issues in the Slackware forum.

Look in /etc/security/limits.conf
