I use Ubuntu 15.10 (64bit). I tried to run ulimit -n 102400, but after reboot or relogging (log out and log in) and excuting ulimit -n I see: 1024. I tried adding

* soft nofile 102400
* hard nofile 102400

to /etc/security/limits.conf but as I said before, I still get 1024. How can I change the max limit of opened files?

You also need to edit /etc/pam.d/common-session* and add the following line to the end:

session required pam_limits.so

Then reboot.

Saw that solution from How do I increase the open files limit for a non-root user?, it worked for me. I'm on Ubuntu 15.10.
