[K12OSN] Firefox Crash Error (shmget: error 28) on FC6

[Nick Fenger]

Hello,

My students were recently complaining of firefox crashes and I ran firefox
from the terminal and got the message shown below:

[milese at server ~]$ firefox -console

(firefox-bin:23703): Gdk-WARNING **: shmget failed: error 28 (No space left
on device)
/usr/lib/firefox-1.5.0.12/run-mozilla.sh: line 131: 23703 Segmentation
fault      "$prog" ${1+"$@"}

 I did some digging and it seems to be related to the amount of shared
memory (cat /proc/sys/kernel/shmmax returns 33554432). I guess I could
increase that amount but I am not sure that will fix the problem ? Any
ideas?


Thanks,

Nick Fenger
