Hi,
I’m currently experiencing quite severe troubles with a Tumbleweed install.
I can’t get most of the created user to log in (when they have loads of files in their home, it’s my development system), newly created ones actually can log, but as soon as I try to import some of the configs from the other users, it definitely fails with the following journal telling that sddm-helper has failed

Furthermore, when I get to log into a newly created user, when I try to launch programs, I often get the following messages:
bash: fork: retry: No child processes
when creating a new konsole tab
or this when launching chrome:
[1:1:0614/125654:ERROR:platform_thread_posix.cc(118)] pthread_create: Resource temporarily unavailable
[5440:5476:0614/125655:ERROR:zygote_communication_linux.cc(169)] Did not receive ping from zygote child

[5440:5440:0614/125655:ERROR:child_process_launcher.cc(505)] Failed to launch child process
SO something seems really eerie with that system, but I don’t really have an idea about what is happenning (CPU, memory and disk space are totally fine…).
Maybe something abour file creation limit, or number of processes?
