When I try to ulimit -n 4097 or greater I get the following error:

bash: ulimit: open files: cannot modify limit: Operation not permitted

None of the solutions at How do I increase the open files limit for a non-root user? seem to work or apply.

I can raise the limit to 4096 but not beyond.

Output of ulimit -n -H 4096

Edit:

Problem solved:

  • Welcome to Ask Ubuntu! What exactly did you do, what did you expect to happen and what happened instead? Did you encounter any warning or error messages? Please reproduce them in their entirety in your question. You can select, copy and paste terminal content and most dialogue messages in Ubuntu. What's the output of ulimit -n -H? Please [edit] your post to add information instead of posting a comment. (see How do I ask a good question?) – David Foerster Aug 12 '18 at 21:58
