Re: [MirageOS-devel] Getting Started

[Lasya Venneti <comethalley61@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear Sir,Â

I have tried as per your suggestion but it still doesn't seem to be working. After this, Even though the installation process says "you need not be the root user" I sudo-ed most commands and it seemed to be working, installation seems to be successful from the prompts. (However, typing 'mirage --help' doesn't work yet, says install mirage thought apt-get ). Can I proceed? Or am I doing something wrong?

Sincerely,

Lasya V

Probably a `ulimit` setting, eg.,
http://askubuntu.com/questions/181215/too-many-open-files-how-to-find-the-culprit.

Try `ulimit -a` to see what current limits are, and then something
like `ulimit -n 5000` (or a number bigger than the current limit
anyway) to get around this.

ISTR this was an issue recently with alcotest specifically -- @samoht,
was there a proper fix intended for this at some point? (Or is it
really just a very low default ulimit setting on Ubuntu?)
