Desktop 2012.1 Beta "Max Number of Clients Reached"

[netean]

Can anyone help me with this.

I replaced my 2012 Marathon install (64bit) with 2012.1 Beta 1 (64 bit)
There's very little else installed but I run up against this error after just a few minutes

"max number of clients reached" and X refuses to display any more.

The only thing that I seem able to do is to log out an back in again, but that gives me only a few minutes before it happens again, so I end up having to restart every 15 minutes or so.
According to ksysguard

I only have 180 processes running (typically)

and I''m not sure what is causing it:
I've checked :
Google Chrome,
Firefox,
Akonadi,
epomuk etc.
Tried stopping or disabling them all (where possible, obviously Akonadi just restarts.. -- god i hate that!) and none of those seem to be the cause

I've tried adding a bash startup to startx
so that suns with "tcp nolisten " as several other postings I read elsewhere had success with that.. but it's made no difference.

I'm running regular 3.6.6 Rosa Kernel.. although I did experiment with the nrj and rt kwith others just in case.(although I only have a 2Gb ram netbook I thought it was worth trying at least, it didn't change anything though)
I;ve even tried changing from Intel Grahics driver to generic Vesa, and tried running with xrender and openGL but that makes no difference either.

Not sure what else to try. Has anyone else had the same problem?
I have 2012.1 (32bit) running fine on my Acer Atom Netbook, - so not sure why this 64 bit version should be different.


Any suggestions or help would be most welcome.

Thanks



p.s. I like Rosa Anyway, but really liking 2012.1 (apart from this bug that is!)

Disable all extentions in Chromium/Chrome and Firefox. Enable it each other and see, what extentions try use all resources...

thanks for the reply.

i'd read this somewhere else as well, and sadly, it was one of the first things I tried.
It happens without Chrome Running,
However, i thought it might be something similar with firefox, so I've done the same. Start without extensions and go one by one.
I only have two extensions : addblock Edge and DownloadThemAll, both are disabled.

is there any way to try and track down the cause? Is there something in system monitor to indicate what clients aren't closing, or what process are left behind etc..
I'll happily do the looking around and learning. just not sure what to look for.. i'm not even sure what it means when it refers to "clients"

Gave up trying to work it out.. it must have been something basic as it would happen without anything running at all, I'd log in, leave the laptop on for a bit, come back in 20 minutes and "max clients reached" so have given up on that, downloaded and installed last build as of yesterday Dec 4.(was that build 729?) Wiped the hard drive and started afresh.

Fingers crossed it won't reappear.
