fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

Hello,

i have a very strange Problem. Since some days I get an error a few minutes after I booted my Laptop.
When I run some Command on the consol ist saying

"fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable"

I can't open my Browser or when I can it has a  Strange behavior and I can't open a new Tab. Sometimes the System freezes completely.
I have no Idea what causes that Problem. I did nothing special the last days. Just normal updated the System. But I am not sure if that has something to do with that.

Does anyone can help me. Or has an Idea how I can find out what the Problem is.

Thanks in advance

Can you post the output of

ulimit -a

As well as the journal from an affected session.

Re: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

The full journal, please.


Since you're pasting from the current session journal, can we assume that the problem is transient? If you're unsure how to get journal entries from previous sessions, please see https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Sy … ing_output

Re: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

The problem still exists. I can boot. And it's normal for some minutes. But then I get these errors in Terminal.
Can't start Browser. Or when I can, I can't open Tabs. It's very strange.
Just now I'm trying to open the journalctl wiki link from you and get in the 2nd Tab from Chrome "Aw, Snap. Something went wrong".
Than I waited some minutes and after that I could open the Tab.
I did a memtest from LiveCD without errors.


journalctl -b

journalctl -b -1

journalctl -b -2

So I get these errors in Terminal. Chrome is acting wired. And also I figured out that I can't open Firefox atm. Maybe that will work for t´some minutes after I reboot.

Or when I try to open htop:

think_tea% htop   
zsh: fork failed: resource temporarily unavailable

or:

think_tea% yaourt -Syua

Re: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

Jan 11 20:21:42 think_tea kernel: Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=../vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/root rootflags=subvol=__active/rootvol cryptdevice=/dev/sda2:root rw initrd=../initramfs-linux.img
Jan 11 20:21:42 think_tea kernel: smpboot: CPU0: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3820QM CPU @ 2.70GHz (family: 0x6, model: 0x3a, stepping: 0x9)

This may be a red herring, but you don't appear to be loading the intel ucode updates.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Microcode

Can you boot with the ucode initrd and see if that helps?

Re: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

If the issue still persists after enabling ucode could you see if the issue is present under the linux-lts kernel as well please?

Re: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

@loqs: linux-lts I tried already. Still the same problem with that.

@WorMzy:
Just loaded the intel ucode updates. That was new for me thank you for that. But sadly the same Problem.

Just 1 min after I booted I did this in Terminal:

 
think_tea% sudo pacman -Syu
:: Synchronizing package databases...
 core is up to date
 extra is up to date
 community is up to date
 multilib is up to date
:: Starting full system upgrade...
 there is nothing to do
think_tea% yaourt -Syua
/usr/lib/yaourt/io.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
/usr/lib/yaourt/io.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
/usr/lib/yaourt/io.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
/usr/lib/yaourt/util.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
/usr/lib/yaourt/util.sh: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable
^C/usr/lib/yaourt/util.sh: fork: Interrupted system call
think_tea% journalctl -b
zsh: fork failed: resource temporarily unavailable

I wait a bit until I can run journalctl -b than I will post it here.

Edit: Just now I can write here but I can't do nothing else. Terminal isn't opening. I will reboot now again.

Edit2: Rebooted:

journalctl -b -1

journalctl -b

Re: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

@WorMzy, it is not my intent to derail this discussion, only to thank you for the link to the Wiki page focused on journal output. Bookmarked, noted. Excellent info.

Re: fork: retry: Resource temporarily unavailable

I still have the problem. Does anyone has some other idea what I can do?
